Silmido (South Korea, 2003)

In 1968, the Korean Republic Army plan to assassinate North Korean president Kim Il-Sung. 31 criminals and death row inmates are recruited into secret training on the island of Silmido; for two years they are subjected to maximum mental and physical abuse until the long awaited day slowly closes in...

Based on the true story of Unit 684, Silmido tells the story of a group of soldiers who refuses to be the politicians pawns. Knowing that it's based on true events, the conclusion becomes ten times more emotional and thought provoking. 

Highly recommended.
