Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War (2004) - 148 min

Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War (Korean: Taegukgi Hwinallimyeo) is a South Korean war film directed by Kang Je-gyu.
Starring Jang Dong-gun, Won Bin, Lee Eun-ju, Choi Min-sik & Gong Hyung-jin.
The film tells the story of two brothers whose normal life changes when a war breaks out. Lee Jin-Tae is the older brother who runs a shoeshine stand in order to make money for his brother's education. Due to the sudden war between North Korea and South Korea, the two brothers were forcibly dragged into the battlefield.
Visually, it's a wonderful war movie. This film has too many characters like all other war movies and it's hard to figure out who is fighting during the war sequences. The two lead actors were excellent in their roles and Like any other Korean movie, the emotional scenes were right on the money. Anyway, the film has high standards of an epic war film and slightly inspired from 'Saving Private Ryan'. Overall, it's a solid movie from the beginning to end and it's a must watch.
Verdict: Great
