The Brotherhood of War (South Korea, 2004)

In 1950, in South Korea, shoe-shiner Jin-tae Lee and his 18-year-old old student brother, Jin-seok Lee, form a poor but happy family. Jin-tae and his mother are tough workers, who sacrifice themselves to send Jin-seok to the university. When North Korea invades the South, the family escapes to a relative's house in the country, but along their journey, Jin-seok is forced to join the army to fight in the front, and Jin-tae enlists too to protect his young brother.

If you're a fan of war movies with massive battle scenes, this one will probably float your boat and then some. The story isn't very original, as often with these kind of films, but it does its job well, which is to blow things up and show bodies fly away as torn apart puppets. 




Genre: Action/Drama/War
