over sentimental

Rating: 3/10 (15 October 2006)

this film seems like it has the best of intentions. in trying to create a realistic warzone and the conflicts that emerge within units on the same side. but it turns out to be over dramatic and predictable. it feels like a 'korean' saving private ryan. while saving private ryan had realistic battle scenes and weak drama. this movie has good to mediocre battle scenes and some ridiculously over wrought dramatic sequences. (beating up the north korean soldier in the pit to prove a point to his brother). It'll leave you with a sweetly taste in your mouth like when you watched World Trade Towers. .finally what are the odds of the brother finding the other in a battle zone and then having time to have a chat. it doesn't do the horror and panic of war any justice and is just another example of using regrettful points in history to exploit drama and make a sale.
