See more 10/10/2020 Ive watched about 100 Korean movies since quarantine started, and its really fascinating how many of them still focus on peninsular reunification. This one doesnt necessarily have anything wholly new to offer to viewers accustomed to american blockbuster political action flicks, but its well executed and well acted. Would definitely recommend for a fun watch as long as you dont mind the run-time =) See more Jay K @RT26023325 08/29/2020 Story was relevant and current. It was engaging and action was top notch. Critics talking about production value is ridiculous. Talk about the enjoyability of the film. See more 08/28/2020 Kept an intensity from start to end. Some comedic moments and a few observations are quite revealing . Well worth the watch, especially for foreign viewers who know little about N and S Korea. See more 02/26/2019 I still have 40 minutes left to finish, but this has all the appearances of being a standout South Korean film. I tend to like action/horror/thriller films, so I wont claim to have seen a wide variety of South Korean movies. However, I've probably seen a dozen in the last three or four years. Most of them leave me feeling as if the differences in culture make me not able to appreciate their films properly, but this one leaves me feeling ignorant. Of their history and Asian history in general; of the geopolitical struggles which shape their countries lives. This feeling actually ADDS to my enjoyment of the film, which is a tense thriller about a coup and the imminent threat of nuclear war. There are a lot of unfamiliar-sounding names and places, and keeping track of everyone and what motivates them is difficult for me. Without having finished the film yet, I already intend to watch it a second time, because I want to understand things better. Foreign films which leave me confused most often frustrate me to the point where I dislike them - which is what makes Steel Rain special: it's a compelling film. The acting is good, the script is good, and the story is good. The characters are believable. The only reason I gave this 4 out of 5 stars is because I'm sure I've missed details that would affect my review. They might even make me like the movie less, but at this point, I seriously doubt that. This looks like a 5 star movie, obscured a bit by the fast-moving dialogue and language/culture barriers.
