The Good, The Bad, The Weird Looks All Good

The first review of THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE WEIRD is in and so far the film is looking pretty good.


Derek Elley at Variety gives the film a very good review, saying:

From the initial train holdup through a shantytown gun battle to a 15-minute desert flatlands chase that's a jaw-dropper, pic maintains an ironic grin that leavens the heavy discharges of ordnance and continuous roundelay of faceoffs.

Also nice to read in Derek's review that Jung Woo-sung's performance holds up, as there have been rumors that Lee Byung-hun and Song Gang-ho were much better than Jung.

One quibble with Derek's review, though -- why does he call the movie the "most expensive South Korean movie to date"? Uh, D-WAR?

I will add more reviews as I find them.
