I downloaded this straight-to-video action flick about North Korea last night and found it fairly entertaining for its genre...Although "rah rah USA" like most of Hollywood, the film touched on alot of issues on the peninsula with decent accuracy. It was also a little eerie to watch in light of this week's events. I also thought it treated North Koreans and South Koreans well, perhaps going over the top to avoid the typical cardboard stereotypes.
Still, it was a bit ridiculous at times...My favorite part was when the South Korean ambassador comes into the Oval Office to protest U.S. covert unilateral actions in the North and demands that the carrier group be removed from the "SEA OF JAPAN!!!!" How did this get by the Korean advisors for the film??? |
