ALTERNATE SYNOPSIS:
From Kwak Kyung-Taek, director of "Champion" and the record-breaking Korean box-office smash, "Friend", comes "Typhoon", an ambitious and technically impressive political action-thriller that effectively takes on Hollywood at its own game.
The biggest-budgeted South Korean movie ever made, boasting superlative production values and locations ranging from Korea and Russia to Thailand, "Typhoon" combines themes and action sequences reminiscent of John Woo's best work with the kind of cinematic thrills and pyrotechnics usually associated with the high-concept blockbusters of Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer. |
