I'm a huge fan of South Korean cinema and can appreciate cultural differences but Steel Rain 2: Summit is just garbage, complete and utter garbage. A harebrained geopolitical scheme with stereotypical characters and below average acting. But what really ruins this movie is the portrayal of the American president. I have no problem with Trump being mocked, I can understand the sentiment, but the US president in Steel Rain 2 is a pitiful, uninspired Trump caricature that adds nothing to the story arc, it has no comedic relief function, it's just burlesque, in the middle of a movie otherwise trying to be a serious political thriller, everyone else is trying to infuse gravitas in their lines, with varying success. It's like if Thirteen Days had Jerry Lewis scenes sprinkled on it, unwatchable. Let's just hope Deliver Us From Evil lives up to the hype, Steel Rain 2: The Summit is as bad as they come and when you're about half way in even the title assumes a different, lowbrow comedy connotation.

This is not a sequel to Steel Rain. The fact that they titled it as a sequel gives me the sense that the distributors had no confidence in the movies ability to stand on its own merits. I resent being tricked into watching it,but over all it's not a bad movie. It has many of the same themes of political intrigue and action. The same actors in different roles. Most of the action takes place on a submarine. Worth watching.

I laughed a lot ,r they serious? Three presents made a standup comedy?

I loved the first STEEL RAIN movie and thus looked forward to this sequel, which turns out to be unconnected; some of the principal cast members return but they're playing different roles in a separate story here, although the geopolitical backdrop is the same. This one offers a complex portrayal of the heady and involved relationship between America, China, Japan and the Koreas and thus it works best if you've already got background knowledge of that situation in the second half of the 20th century and beyond. While it does go on for a little too long, the political machinations of the first half ably give way to submarine-based action thrills in the second. Macfadyen's Trump caricature adds some amusing humour while the veteran Korean performers are exemplary, as ever. Not quite as good as the first film, but nonetheless involving viewing.

Since South Korea has obviously become nothing but another puppet state of the zionist, globalist, neoliberal United States, this worldview is reflected more and more in its movie industry as well. Who is the boogey man? Evil "right wing extremist" Japanese. Their leader actually is the one who makes sense, wanting to protect Japan from the evil America influence which brings nothing but depravity, destruction and financial slavery everywhere it takes root. So of course they had to make him an expansionist who wants to reconquer Korea again as well, otherwise the audience would sympathize with him, and we can't sympathize with nationalists, can we? This is a neoliberal movie after all. There is also a nationalist North Korean general who's stance also makes sense until they turn him into a bad guy as well.

I did like the bonding between the North and South Korean leaders and how the American president was portrayed as a disrespectful, tactless, total buffoon who "just wants to make some money", although even that was so overexaggerated and free of nuance that it felt like a stupid liberal comedy sketch and took any remaining seriousness out of the film.

Oh and by the way, the entire story as a whole is also pretty ridiculous, especially to anyone who understands which forces truly run the world. Part 1 was really awesome. This one has nothing to do with. Don't waste your time.

The story happened in a world similar but different to one we live. So if you can put aside what you know about the leader of the USA, N Korea, and S Korea, then the story makes sense.

The lead actors were great. Supporting actors also did a job. The fight scenes were perfectly executed and convincing. The message was clear. Excellent directing. I totally enjoyed the 2 hours.

Again, you don't need to watch Steel Rain One in order to this movie. They are two different stories. This one is not a sequel. And I like this one better. So go for it.

It may say that Steel rain 1 is much better than 2. In particularly, in korea, it says the character is too charmless and have a superficial imitation. Especially, american president is motivated to someone. But, it was just same at his often saying. It may not say the worst, but it has no appealing.

Great analogy of realistic and semi realistic issues. the character representing Trump is hilarious.

Alot of chit chat like usual Korean soapy. The last bit were intense, but compared to other submarine films, this is seriously RUBBISH.

The small humor parts of American President is witty and funny.

If u gonna pay for this film, PLEASE dont. U will be utterly dissapointed

A combination of several things makes this movie entertaining from start to finish. Firstly there is clever biting political satire on the current tensions in Asia and the role of foreign powers. Some of the movie is in English and cleverly incorporates an international element. Next there is laugh out loud comedy involving the personalities of the 3 heads of state S & N Korea and a Trump parody. For the climax there is enough submarine action - too much can be boring. What a pleasant surprise this movie turned out to be. This isn't at all like the first Steel Rain. Jung Woo Sung plays it just right as the S Korean leader. Yoo Yeon-seok plays the N Korean leader and it's great to see him do comedy for a change instead of the villain. Angus MacFayden is quite good as the US President. I don't get the negative reviews - this is a comic masterpiece.

The orignal Steel Rain was okay, not great but still quite okay, this sequel however has such a RIDICULOUS story that ruined the entire movie. But there is more wrong with this sequel...

The bad: it doesnt start out too bad, but when the first ridiculous plot turn comes, this movie cant be taken seriously any longer. What's worse though is the total lack of supsense and action. Nothing much happens the first 90 minutes, we only get to see boring submarine footage and boring boardroom meetings by government officials who all act below par.

Not any good then? Well, the 2 leading Korean actors are quite good, but they themselves cant lift up this ridiculous and boring movie.

Director use a nice and understanding way to explain a complex situation between these 3 countries. It's add a little humor on these 3 countries leader. Fun, intense to watch movies. Feel fortunate to watch it before the cinema decide to take down in the final weeks. Nothing to pick on, only the North Korea leader is too good looking that can form a K-pop boy group:)

Money wasted movie. There's almost no action scene and It even don't have any conectivity with steel rain 1.

Sounds nice and cosy, but when the cabin is just 3 square meters and the food taste salty and raw, and the drinking water taste like spill, and that it is the us, the north korean and south corean president crammed togwther, it has to be an interesting bait for all of you...

this syory and plot is like a spy film from the cold war, its threats are thrown east and wets and north too and comes flying back like an australian bat out of hell. its in fact an unbelievable story about factual historical truths, and the scenario of threats could very well be played out like this.

the acting are as usually flawless, even the american actors delivers to make an korean cinema audience laugh out loud, and in fact the behavioural way of preciding are just like an actual one, the red tie proofs that.

so if you like political strategy on the brink of war between china, u.s., s.korea, n.korea and japan over a small group of dodko island then have a go for steel rain 2. its a cool funny but also very actual take of current ways of conducting politics in the far eastern part of the world. a big recommend from the grumpy old man.

If there is a movie that Matsumoto Jun is acting as Hideki Tojo, that is what reality of this movie. In KOREAN Version.

Top shelf cinematography and directing. Acting was on point and convincing. Sets and score amazing. My issue was mainly some plot and technical issues as well as the overly long runtime. Thankfully the pacing was decent, but the film needed about 15-20 mins trimmed off. It's a well deserved 8/10 from me.

Yet another steaming pile of bought-and-paid-for Seoul compost. Try being just a bit subtle, guys, and we can tell you apart from the Pyongyang propagandists. You are better than this.

This could easily pass for something from The Asylum. It reminded me of some of the uber-nationalistic action movies Hollywood tossed out in the 1980s. The plot is ridiculous. The Smoot-Trump character comes off as how someone who has only heard of the Orange one from secondhand accounts would create a parody of him. It's confusing as to why they have a serious plot line in what is a bad comedy. Avoid at all costs.

This movie is hilarious, despite being heavily caricatural. Much better than what I expected. Better understood if you keep an eye on East Asian geopolitics.

I enjoyed the first steel rain but this one too bad to even complete. I usually don't mind President portrayals but this one was way too much. First our president isn't like that period. I find it very insulting and as a major contributor to Movies to watch, this one will not even make the list. If I could rate in a negative number I would..
