06/07/05
It's powerfully moving and thoroughly involving, although rather over-constructed.
04/06/05
The beauty of writer/director Je-gyu Kang's work is his ability to gloss over the dramatic deficiencies with some of the best combat footage ever.

Tae Guk Gi joins the ranks of classic war epics, besting many of the Hollywood movies it aims to emulate.
02/17/05
Later scenes in Brotherhood make mad, passionate love with being cliched.
12/09/04
The battle scenes are amazing in their scope and vehemence. But in the breaks between fighting, the movie reminds us that the costs of war can exceed the loss of life and limb.

Top CriticTae Guk Gi is The Deer Hunter and Saving Private Ryan for South Korea's burgeoning cinema.
11/18/04
At times the performances seem more akin to the histrionics of old silent movies, when emotions had to be seen because they couldn't be heard.
11/12/04
Top CriticWhat really separates Tae Guk Gi from Private Ryan's ilk is that the conflicted Koreans fight desperately in their own backyard, as opposed to U.S. movie soldiers who are always on an adventure abroad.
11/12/04
Although flawed, the film is obviously successful in bringing to life what has been called the 20th century's 'forgotten war.'
11/12/04
Top CriticFor fans of New Korean Cinema with strong stomachs for violence and melodrama, there's a lot to love.
11/05/04
While Tae Guk Gi's horrific imagery is peppered throughout with moments of surreal beauty, it remains one of the most realistic depictions of battlefield chaos I can think of.
10/19/04
Even with its overemotional moments, it's more honest than most.
09/30/04
Top CriticBrutal yet meaningful, agonizing yet touching, The Brotherhood of War is a harrowing but rewarding experience.
09/24/04
Top CriticWorth seeing for its sheer otherness at a time when Americans are forced to look increasingly at the outside world for new information.
