This looks like it has potential, not too many Korean War movies out there.

Looks interesting. Does anyone know any good sites for finding out when and where these kinds of foreign or indie films are playing? I'd see more of them if I knew where to go.

Seems kinda corny.

@snake_runner: If you know the movie, they'll generally have a website with that information, such as http://thefrontlinemovie-us.com/ for The Front Line. I don't know of any hub site that would include multiple limited release movies though.

Hope it's just as good as Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War. Can't wait to see this!

I'm hoping the same, really loved that film.

Doesn't really make sense to launch an attack 12 hours before the armistice.

kind of looking forward to this

@Delta_Assault: It's war, a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense happens. For example, because the armistice of World War 1 didn't happen immediately, thousands died despite knowing the war was effectively over (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armistice_with_Germany#Last_casualties):

"The news was quickly given to the armies during the morning of 11 November, but even after hearing that the armistice was due to start at 11:00 a.m., intense warfare continued right until the last minute. Many artillery units continued to fire on German targets to avoid having to haul away their spare ammunition. The Allies also wished to ensure that, should fighting restart, they would be in the most favourable position. Consequently there were 10,944 casualties of which 2,738 men died on the last day of the war."

This actually looks good. I want to see this if it ever gets released where I live.

@bnpederson: @Delta_Assault:

The whole war didn't make sense. The United Nations & States along with the Soviet Union were complete boneheads with their involvement and splitting of the Koreans.

I am kinda surprised to see the Republic of Korea soldiers completely decked with U.S. equipment, clothing and weapons. I don't know much about the history of the war, did the Americans completely supply them? I wonder if we will see Americans or Australians in the film.

@Gunharp:

I saw this movie in Korea this past summer. The South was pretty much completely supplied by the US. The North was supplied by the USSR. There are no Australians in the film, and the only Americans you see are high ranking officers at the negotiations in the beginning of the movie.

I'm not diggin' the typeface for those subtitles, or any of the typefaces for that matter.

These doesn't look anywhere near as funny as M*A*S*H was :\
