The Front Line (South Korea, 2011)

Towards the end of the Korean War an uneasy ceasefire is ordered, but out on the Eastern front line of the Aerok Hills fierce fighting continues. A race to capture a strategic point to determine a new border between the two Koreas is the ultimate prize. A bullet is then found in the body of dead company commander of the South Korean army. The bullet that killed the company commander belongs to the South Korean army. Lieutenant of the Defense Security Command Kang Eun-Pyo is ordered to go out into the Eastern front line and investigate the murder.

Emotionally powerful and lots of well-directed, great-looking battle scenes. The Front Line has everything that makes for a good war movie. It features great actors like Shin Ha-kyun (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance) and Kim Ok-bin (Thirst), deals with the struggles of a single platoon and manages to pull you in to its hellish warzone. 


Genre: Drama/History/War
