Georgan G This spy thriller had plenty of action and violence that bordered on gore. Being American, it was impossible for me to remember & recognize the many characters here. For such a long film, it surely went by quickly. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/24 Full Review Alec B Jee-woon Kim isn't coy about the narrative, we know where the character's loyalties lie and who/what they are playing. You'd think this would suck the tension out of this kind of movie, but it merely shifts the plot's focus to more interesting areas. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review Jhon Franklin V Excelente película, con un actor con buena trayectoria. recomendada. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/06/23 Full Review Greg K Huge and impressive setpieces that radiate a distinct atmosphere, lots of details, and some decent camera-work. Downside: All of the characters were either good or bad, but the whose-side-are-you-on theme worked nevetheless. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/11/23 Full Review isla s This is quite a gripping and tense watch, certainly not one for the particularly squeamish though, it has to be said. It doesn't appear especially violent (moreso than many other action films) in the first half of the film but there are torture related scenes in the 2nd half of it, which I found a bit hard to watch once or twice. Still, its a relatively atmospheric watch, with some good cinematography - I particularly liked the long scene set in a train, which adds a bit of a 'Murder on the Orient Express' feel to it. I thought the plot pace was good - at times its really quite fast paced and I was quite engrossed in it and at others it was more low key and I was left wondering when something might happen, what the next twist in the plot may be. As a spy film, its certainly good. There's a good use of music at times, not very often but when it does feature, it isn't over the top of distracting and the performances are decent too, so I'd recommend it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The Age of shadows is a bloody, tense and beautiful movie. It's near perfect if it wasnt for those extra few minutes that wouldve been better off cut out. For example the two torture scenes couldve just been hinted at. They ended up a bit drawn out and hard to watch. Overall still highly recommend this movie for pretty much everything it has to offer from great acting to brutal action.
