No run of the mill spaghetti ‘eastern’, respected director Ji-woon Kim (A Tale of Two Sisters) provides an exhilarating ride with Korea’s three top male stars storming through 1930s Manchuria after hidden treasure. This Korean film is a must see on the big screen.
Reviews
“East meets West meets East again, with palate-tingling results, in The Good, The Bad, The Weird a kimchi Western that draws shamelessly on its spaghetti forebears but remains utterly, bracingly Korean.” Derek Elley, Variety
“If Sergio Leone could see The Good, The Bad, The Weird, a gleefully deranged Korean homage to his spaghetti westerns, he would probably envy the resources available to director Ji-woon Kim” Wendy Ide, The Times
“[…] fluid, dizzying camera moves and judicious CGI, ravishing set design and exhilarating action. ****” Kim Jee-Woon, Time Out (London)
