Epic war film about the defense of a besieged fortress in 7th century Goguryeo (proto-Korea) against an overwhelming force of Tang invaders from China. The cast is uniformly excellent, the writing is good and the scenes of battle carnage are plentiful and visceral. The only thing holding this back from true greatness is the typical South Korean over-reliance on massive doses of melodrama to sell the emotional impact. Spare me all the crying and music swells, and show me more severed limbs.
