We can be grateful that a Jang Hun comes along now and then to inscribe a human record.

Jang's filmmaking weapons may be utterly conventional, but that does not prevent them from delivering a high-impact payload.

The themes and characters are right out of any number of classic war movies, but... the frontline culture, so at odds with military discipline and command, is fascinating.

If you like war movies, this one is a dandy. Sure, you'll recognize some of the genre's shopworn conventions, but there are enough unique twists and details to make "The Front Line" memorable.

Rated: 8/10

A little melodramatic, but there is a similar theme to that of Tae Guk Gi, a tragic fight between brothers. This seems to be a through line in Korean War films that other nations could take note of.

9/8/16 Amazon Streaming Video A really well done war flick with some terrific battle scenes. The story pretty formulaic with war is hell, leaders suck, why are we doing this, etc. but still an intense movie that seems shorter than its 2:13 run time. It does a good job of showing why war is such a waste and how it is so dehumanizing.
