Korean fight flick

A fighting flick from South Korea. A little overlong which stops me giving it a top mark, but otherwise a good mix of character drama, media satire, and fight action. Lots of nods to the likes of ROCKY along the way, although the back stories and gangster content makes it far grittier in some respects. Very well acted, as you'd expect from Korea, and the fight choreography is top notch, so that the bouts both inside and out of the ring are electrifying.

Great movie!

If you can get a copy with subtitles in your own language, then this movie is worth watching. It's not the usual fighting tournament movie. The movie follows a number of contestants and shows how good they used to be when younger and what they've become now that they're in their 40's. Some have lost all of their skills, but some have retained them and are still good martial art fighters.The movie has a great build up, some good laughs, some (typical Asian) drama, but that doesn't distract at all. Overall the portrayal of the main characters and supporting characters is very well done.This is a very enjoyable fight movie, with a good plot and some interesting surprises. Before I knew it the movie was over, it kept my attention all the time even though it's a long movie. I'm sure I'm going to watch again in time to come.
