Storyline
A guksu western. Three Korean gunslingers are in Manchuria circa World
War II: Do-wan, an upright bounty hunter, Chang-yi, a thin-skinned and
ruthless killer, and Tae-goo, a train robber with nine lives. Tae-goo
finds a map he's convinced leads to buried treasure; Chang-yi wants it
as well for less clear reasons. Do-wan tracks the map knowing it will
bring him to Chang-yi, Tae-goo, and reward money. Occupying Japanese
forces and their Manchurian collaborators also want the map, as does the
Ghost Market Gang who hangs out at a thieves' bazaar. These enemies
cross paths frequently and dead bodies pile up. Will anyone find the
map's destination and survive to tell the tale?
The Good, the Bad, the Weird Movie Reviews
Of the few Korean films
i have seen , the best word to describe them all is eccentric and The
Good The Bad & The Weird certainly lives up to that. This movie
looks fantastic , almost epic like and you can see a lot of money was
spent on the set . It really does have the feel of a western and the
three main characters are all very interesting in their own right. The
story is a simple one , three men ( and their cronies) are after a
treasure map and they will do anything to get hold of it. The minus
points of this film are that its half an hour too long and that at times
it's to frenetic. Because of the constant action you get a little
bombarded with it after a while. On the whole i enjoyed this film but im
not too sure i would ever watch it again.
