I have been impressed in recent years by film offerings out of Asia that are not Hollywood and this one was no exception a Korean made film offering a glimpse of a period piece relating to an area not well known in the West, loosely based on a true story. The brutal conditions to characters endured is long and ongoing almost exhausting to watch, but the props and any special effects were done well, the story was great and very very impressive.

They were struggled for their own survival through the hardship and war of the year. That is how they tell the people about the Korean and Japanese runners. It was tough time for both of them and their life were not easy.

It took awhile for me to settle in to this movie because of the action involved but once I paid attention, it was a great movie! Not overly sugar-coated at the end but pleasant...good story, good movie!

As a history buff this movie was a fine story told with the latest CGI eye candy. The Russians vs Japanese in Battles of Khalkhyn Gol/Nomonhan were fantastically portrayed. Russian armored brawn against Japanese fanaticism on full display. The main characters of the movie complimented the action with a believable competitive turned ally development as each person just tried to survive events from the Russian front to Normandy, France. Amazing story that is well directed and well acted. Enjoy this gem. Let your blu-ray melt with a fantastic war movie.
