Guess which is which?
It was good, but strange (I guess you could say weird). It was also comical and gross. There was a lot of gore, but it was rather in the style of a Simon Pegg & Nick Frost movie, or Monty Python, which made it a little more tolerable to those who don't generally care for violence. There was a mass killing that was entirely accidental, which was ironic and humorous. In another scene, the granny is not hit, even though about 2 dozen people fire three million bullets in her very near vicinity. However there were still parts where I had to cover my eyes.
The story begins with a map. The map is sold, with the intent to steal it back. Only someone else steals it first. There is a fantastic, high-speed chase scene across a Manchurian desert at the end of the movie that goes on and on, and you wonder how the heck it is going to end. A surprise revelation at the very end of the movie about the past of one of the three main characters is interesting. It is not the character that you think would have that past.
It also had a great soundtrack.
Now I want a haircut like the Bad (admit it, it's cool).
From the film's website:
"One Map. Three Villains. Winner Takes All. Set in the 1930s Manchurian desert where lawlessness rules and many different ethnic groups clash, three Korean men fatefully meet each other on a train. The train’s diverse passengers and imminent danger with guns and knives everywhere serves as a microcosm of the turbulent times. Do-won is a bounty hunter who tracks down any criminals with rewards on their heads. Chang-yi is the leader of a group of tough-as-nails bandits. He cannot stand to be the second best. Tae-goo is a train robber with nine lives. The three strangers engage in a chase across Manchuria to take possession of a map Tae-goo discovers while robbing the train. Also on the hunt for the mysterious map are the Japanese army and Asian bandits. In this unpredictable, escalating battle for the map, who will stand in the end as the winner?"
