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.

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.

Although flawed, the film is obviously successful in bringing to life what has been called the 20th century's 'forgotten war.'
November 12, 2004 | Rating: 2.5/4 -
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.

Even with its overemotional moments, it's more honest than most.

Brutal yet meaningful, agonizing yet touching, The Brotherhood of War is a harrowing but rewarding experience.

Audience Reviews for Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War
-
Feb 08, 2015Definitely one of the best war films I have ever seen and it puts some of Hollywood's efforts to shame. Harrowing, often brutal but with a deep undercurrent of human love for family during times of war. This has to be seen.Ian W Super Reviewer

Nov 05, 2012A fabulous tale of family divided by war...so often told but often poorly executed. Here it is a success. The best work is done in between words with an expression or glance.John B Super Reviewer

Mar 17, 2012The action is probably more intense than Saving Private Ryan and that means something! The story progresses from a slow beginning to an epic finale that might bring some to tears. Well worth watching!paul o Super Reviewer

Sep 07, 2011Let's be real; Saving Private Ryan is a better movie then Tae Guk Gi. This is movie tries too hard to be exactly like Saving Private Ryan- the action, the cinematography, the camera work... But behind all the technicalities comes a very moving and powerful character-driven story that is more riveting then Saving Private Ryan. In comparison to the incredibly gritty "Saving Private Ryan", Tae Guk Gi is more of a blockbuster movie that has more stylized action and drama. Still, this is a must watch.Albert K Super Reviewer
