The Good, The Bad, The Weird


It may share a similar title to the classic Clint Eastwood spaghetti western The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, but this Korean action flick is good enough to stand on its own. It’s the story of three guys fighting each other – and hundreds of extras – to get hold of a mysterious treasure map. Director Ji-woon Kin (A Tale of Two Sisters) knows how to direct an action scene, especially when it is set on a speeding locomotive, but he also knows how to use humor and personality to give us believable characters that we can cheer for.
