Another great movie by the legendary Kim Jee-Woon. While a tad too longer, the best sequence which would remain is the train sequence which is one of the masterpieces of suspense.

2 / 2 directing & technical aspect 2 / 2 story 1 / 1 acting 0 / 1 pacing 1 / 1 dialogue 1 / 1 living up to its genre 0 / 1 originality 0 / 1 lasting ability to make you think 0.......misc enjoyment point (+/-) 7 out of 10 Act II on the train is a masterpiece. Kang-ho Song is effing awesome in EVERYTHING he's in. Especially anything directed by Chan-wook Park. If you liked this, check out The Good, the Bad, and the Weird. Same director, Jee-woon Kim, and Kang-ho is hilarious in it.

It's absolutely mindboggling again and again what the Korean's are able to do with a puny budget, like the $9 Million for this one. The set and costume design, production values in general and everything were so spot on as usual, amazing! Tho as Manny said, the movie was maybe a tad too long but besides that another brilliant piece in Kim Jee-Woon's book of which I've seen them all. Fantastic cast and better than 2015's "Assassination" which was similar in setting. Well worth your time!

Korean epic _The Age of Shadows_ has everything and nothing it needs to excellent: espionnage, action, and not the slightest whiff of romance. It stumbles to catch its footing in the over-long first act (and you have to read a lot of subtitles to grasp the basic intrigue of the film), but it really hits its stride in the second with suspense, on-point directing and top notch acting (the ensemble cast includes Song Kang-ho (_Parasite_, _The Host_, _Memories of a Murder_, _Snowpiercer_...)). Like every truly great film, _The Age of Shadows_ demands interest, but pays off big time for the attention you pay it.
