      Stanley Kauffmann The New Republic We can be grateful that a Jang Hun comes along now and then to inscribe a human record. Jun 19, 2013 Full Review Anton Bitel Little White Lies Jang's filmmaking weapons may be utterly conventional, but that does not prevent them from delivering a high-impact payload. Mar 5, 2012 Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post A potent anti-war movie with breathtaking battle sequences. Rated: 3/4 Jan 20, 2012 Full Review Josh Long Battleship Pretension The Front Line succeeds in presenting an emotional war story that speaks to lingering issues within Korea. Mar 16, 2021 Full Review Sean Axmaker Seanax.com 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. May 19, 2012 Full Review James Plath Movie Metropolis 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 Apr 25, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member The best Korean movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Action-packed must see movie if you love watching war movies, really well done. Steven Speilberg would be impressed... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member See it...and see it again like I did! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member The Front Line is decent which I did not expect it. Though it has a good presentation, it's more like watching a montage of all the rip off scenes from the previous war film epics. It's flat and very dull. As for the story, it's poorly executed and there are a lot of pointless scenes which are not that necessary and I was like "it's still on the middle part of the story it needs to move on". With all the good Korean cast to offer, though I feel sorry for them, they're doing their best in all of these stiff dialogues and those cheesy moments. It's there, but I'm pretty sure somebody will rescue to it's full potential. It could have been better. I was thinking of giving it a 2.5 but for its effort and presentation, 3 would be nice. Damn it could have been satisfying. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
