JSA: Joint Security Area
South Korea 2000, 110 minutes
Dir. Park Chan-Wook
In Korean, English with English subtitles
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Action/Adventure
Feat. Kang-ho Song, Young-ae Lee
Aroview: A Korean military thriller of high repute that opens with a double-killing on the bitterly-tense border between North and South and evolves into an intense investigative melodrama.
A box-office record-breaker in its homeland this enacts a series of interesting twists, edged with melodrama yet driving to more tragic depths than its Hollywood equivalents (eg. A FEW GOOD MEN). Notable also for its smoothly accomplished filmmaking, this derives most power as a glimpse into a uniquely secret powerkeg of international politics.

4 stars (Very Good) A brilliant military thriller complete with building suspense, frenetic action sequences and conspiracy. Chan-Wook Park is undoubtedly one of the best Korean directors this century. ~Tom H
3 stars (Good Enough) The screenplay is intelligent, anti-war, and has some nice satirical touches. ~Tubbs
