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

Ultimately, “The Front Line” stands as a powerful and enduring war epic. Its thematic depth, compelling performances, and technical excellence make it a title that continues to resonate, and one that fully deserves to be experienced on the big screen. Go to Full Review

Sean Axmaker Seanax.com 05/19/2012
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. Go to Full Review

hannah s 07/22/2024 It was very good. one of the saddest i’ve watched. enjoyed it, made me cry many times wish i could have the feeling of watching it for the first time again. See more 12/02/2021 The best Korean movie. See more 07/07/2019 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. See more 12/11/2016 Action-packed must see movie if you love watching war movies, really well done. Steven Speilberg would be impressed... See more 09/08/2016 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. See more 12/10/2014 See it...and see it again like I did! See more Read all reviews
