The Yellow Sea

Korea

Over-the-top violent action thriller. Long (over 2 hours), impossibly complicated plot which eventually didn't matter since the whole point of this film was the chases, fights (with knives and hatchets) and mayhem. Extremely bloody. Amazing stunt work, vehicle crashes, etc.

By the time I realized what I was watching it was too late to turn it off. It mattered to me that this poor taxi driver turned reluctant hit man got through his extraordinary ordeal. Plus one of the supporting characters was such a hoot I had to witness his ultimate fate.

They weren't making films like this when I was fifteen. Good thing.
