This movie is filled with foul-mouthed, fist fightin', knife stabbing, raw and rough, chaotic fun. Good splashes of humor are thrown in to somewhat moderate the dark and violent tone of the film. It balances each of its attributes quite well and makes good use of many classic themes involving adolescence and growing up, the bonds of friendship, and the need to stand your ground even under daunting circumstances.

This movie also makes good contributions in the noir/gangster department, especially with the fact that the main characters, the "Three Fellas" are all by classic standards and for all intents and purposes bad guys. These cats get drunk, talk shit, and fight in the street like dogs for the sake of territoriality. I'm starting to wonder if there is some ancient connection in lineage between Korean and Irish folks. Drinkin' and fightin', you know? We all do it but they seem to do it like Sarah Palin talks dumb shit: naturally and with complete confidence.

"Three Fellas" is a fun ride that I am glad to have in my collection. My only complaints involve the end fight's lack of a conclusion, you know, one of those "you decide the outcome" deals. That was pretty annoying, but the overall product was good enough that I can excuse this one flawed part of the film. That's rare for me. Usually if I have any major gripes about an ending it can kill the whole movie for me ("Signs", "Identity", "Matrix:Revolutions", etc.) but not in this case. I found this movie to work exactly in the ways that it needed to and it is yet another reason that I love Korean movies.

I was gonna' add a chaos tally but my kid is trippin' so I got to bail. Sorry, folks, but we'll catch up another time. Oh and if anyone is keeping score at home, little Billy didn't make it. We were unable to revive or reincarnate him. Apparently, we were using the King James version of the Necronomicon. I have some digging to do. Good night, folks.
