Kundo: Min-ran-eui si-dae

A fine historical adventure film, clearly indebted to the Robin Hood story and indeed referencing ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES quite openly at the end. It's much more humorous than I was expecting, an all-star-cast story of the corrupt Joseon nobility and the outlaws who team up to take them down. Laughs early on give way to wholesale slaughter at a later point, with the usual heavy emoting interspersed with well-staged action sequences. An effortless watch, as usual with Korean cinema.
