Brother vs. Brother

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2013)

Wonderful. Magnificent. A political debate transformed or transmuted in a battle between brothers. Great idea.
Well, the first word that comes to mind is GREAT. What could've been better ? I really don't know.
Jang Dong-gun and Won Bin play two brothers who from the best brothers become mortal enemies. Now, could this be a summary of the film ? Far from it ! The script takes you with the two brothers. You laugh, you cry with them, with duck the bullets with them, you check and recheck your position with them. Slowly, bit by bit, you see as your brothers.
Well, if I were to write all this movie made me feel, I would spend all night and well pass the 1 000 words limit. The music, the atmosphere, the characters, all support the two great actors in transmitting the touching message to all viewers. Is it fair that two brothers be separated ? What if you extrapolate the idea ?
