”Based
on a true story”.
If this
story is true, then ”My way” may just be the most fascinating journey in the
history of war movie genre. A Korean (Dong-gun Jang) and a Japanese (Jo Odagiri) athletes odyssey leads them across the globe, starting at Korea,
moving to Siberia, only to end on a D-day in Normandy 1944.
Action
sequences are masterfully led by the directing arm of Je-kyu Kang, although
often unrealistically empowered when it comes to special effects. Script tends
to repeat itself, but with a purpose, trying to emphasize the meaninglessness
of war and the Korean role in it.
Ending
is equally strong as this entire war movie ”on steroids”, leaving the spectator
just awed by the mysterious ways of the human destinies inside the global
conflict.
”My
way” is truly a remarkable war story and you should see it, even if only for
that.
