The first review of THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE WEIRD is in and so far the film is looking pretty good.


Derek Elley at Variety gives the film a very good review, saying:

From the initial train holdup through a shantytown gun battle to a 15-minute desert flatlands chase that’s a jaw-dropper, pic maintains an ironic grin that leavens the heavy discharges of ordnance and continuous roundelay of faceoffs.


Also nice to read in Derek’s review that Jung Woo-sung’s performance holds up, as there have been rumors that Lee Byung-hun and Song Gang-ho were much better than Jung.

One quibble with Derek’s review, though — why does he call the movie the “most expensive South Korean movie to date”? Uh, D-WAR?

I will add more reviews as I find them.
