John Connor's Entertainment Log

Beautifully written and directed. Gorgeous Albuquerque photography and unconventional camera angles. Intelligent dialogue, creating empathy for the characters and genius plot twists. Easily obtaining a top ten position on my all time favorite tv show list. A must see for fans of Breaking Bad. Saul Good Man!

Peele's directing style and subject matter mix better with the paranormal than with the extraterrestrial imho. Great shooting location and strong performances by Kaluuya and Yeun as always.

Wasn't expecting much from this. I thought; How many really good/great Korean movies can there be? Well apparently a lot and this is one of them. Raw, intense and action packed, good stuff. No 2010's ballot contender but definitely top 100.

Watched this last night after your recommendation. Never heard of this movie, but I think my rating is close to yours. The language and accents seemed a little off here, as I decided to turn on subtitles to catch some of the words. The love interests of both men seemed a bit underdeveloped where I thought they might have been thrown in for dramatic effect, but I confirmed those relationships were indeed factual (after browsing around some foreign Wikipedia articles haha).

Highly recommended for those who like this kind of movie, along the same line of Valkyrie with Tom Cruise.

Glad you appreciated it as well.
To me it felt authentic, realistic and not too dramatized. Great war story, tragic but heroic.

Technically and visually the battle was 'great', the casting and acting was a bit off though.
