Muyeong geom (2005)
This is a poor movie
I'm a big fan of Foreign films in general, and was quite looking forward to viewing this. My friend had said it was quite good but not great and it had some cute female actors. Hey I'm no film snob, if I don't care if there are some huuuuuge plot holes, if it entertains me, I'm happy.
Sadly it failed on this simple criteria. The fight scenes were messy and IMHO poorly choreographed. The actors tried their best, but the script was not good. The plot was the usual rubbish seen a million times in Crouching Tiger and its ilk (and was clumsily handled as well), as was the awful, woeful wire-work. Actually, if you liked crouching tiger et al, you'll actually probably like this movie. For me, I want those 2 hours of my life back.
I seriously seriously nearly made this the FIRST FILM IN MY LIFE I have stopped watching halfway through..... and I've watched some BAD movies in my time.
So why did I give it 2? Nice cinematography and the 'Bad Girl' (Ki-Yong Lee) is ridiculously sexy. Thats about it.
