The Age of Shadows justifies its imposing length with a richly detailed period drama whose sprawling size is matched by strong acting, impressive craft, and narrative depth.

The action is lengthy but well constructed, particularly a sequence on a wood-panelled steam train, but the torture scenes and occasional severed toes may try some viewers. Mar 24, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

At 140 minutes, The Age of Shadows is a film that peaks early and ends late. Still, there is an upside to this ponderousness. Mar 24, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

This film certainly believes in giving the audience bang for their buck: although it's a little over-extended. Mar 24, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

For this director, exposition can't hold a candle to elegantly staged shootouts. And who can blame him. He knows his strengths. Sep 22, 2016 | Full Review…

"The Age of Shadows" is a film destined to succeed, commercially, since it includes a favorite theme, some of S. Korea's most popular actors, and a rather large budget that was implemented wisely, and artistically, due to the masterful direction Apr 7, 2019 | Full Review…

Despite requiring a trimming and boasting poor characterisation, Miljeong is still an enjoyable film thanks to its use of tension and brutal action sequences. Mar 26, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It is a thoroughly plotted film, carefully constructed to make sense most especially when the plot explodes all over. It climaxes at the right time, with twists and turns are perfectly placed to produce all the apt emotions. May 1, 2018 | Full Review…
