05/01/2021 This movie doesn't fail at all. See more 09/06/2013 It's not the Dirty Dozen, in fact it's crazy enough to be a real story. Silmido is interesting war drama following the events of the Blue House Raid. Unfortunately the movie didn't showcase, what could have been a great action behind the Blue House Raid. That's understandable that it would just patronize the Northern efforts against South Korea. Despite this unique story of Unit 684, the movie have a lot of excess in drama. The ending is way too dramatic. It's would be more fun to turn it into a good action movie. See more antti p 03/02/2013 Based on a little know true story of a South Korean special unit of convicted death row prisoners training to kill the head of North Korea. With Pirates of the Caribbean style music. See more 07/12/2012 This Korean war movie is The Dirty Dozen meets The Eagle Has Landed. A group of death-row inmates are trained on the island of Silmido with the mission of assassinating the North Korean leader, but then they are never sent and get stir-crazy on the island. This is the part of the movie that I dislike. They train for the half the movie, and then don't do anything for the rest of the movie. No big mission, just going rogue and then having a political statement in the ending. It does have some good acting and training scenes, but it lacks because the narrative it is based on is anti-climactic. See more 07/08/2012 One of the best movies I've ever seen. A classic and a must-see for every film-loving adult. You haven't seen a story quite like 'Silmido'. See more 04/11/2012 Silmido is a great action war film in the style of Full Metal Jacket meets the Dirty Dozen. Based on a true event in South Korea, the narrative is equally engaging and compelling. Its cast of many give this film a very badass persona and fasinating development. It also feels it could dwarf any Michael Bay or Tony Scott epic actioner any day cause if its craftmanship that give it a distictive hollywood action flavour. Just get all those fake Auteurs to look at this and then they'll realise Story and drama are more important than action specticle. A Highly recomended action film! See more Read all reviews
