I've been combing the Korean-language sites and most say they don't know if it will be released in Korea, while one says it will come out next month. If the movie does well in the U.S., they'll have to release it in Korea.

+1

Perhaps the best sci-fi/action flick I've seen in a while, definitely this year. Blows T4 out of the water despite being low budget. A plus for those old enough to remember Apartheid South Africa, there's actually a message in that movie.

Will definitely see it in the theatre again.

It takes time to do the subtitles. And Korean's will censor anything that's a tad bit 'Spicy'.

I'd say tops, 3 months.

Go out and rent some movies you've seen in the States. Like Scary Movie 2 or even the Fast and Furious. You'll notice they took out scenes or even whole segments.

As an action movie it's decent, has undertones of sci-fi and a lot of social commentary about the South African apartheid years. Expect a sequel.

Can you give a current example? Even penises -- praise the Lord! -- are shown in cinemas these days.

With Theatrical releases, I believe the subtitles are hard coded into the movie. They'll show both the English and Korean subtitles for scenes where they speak German or French.

Now, if they ever show the movie on Korean TV, then you will probably only see the Korean subtitles.
