The Battleship Island (2017)

I was eagerly waiting for this movie since the day I saw it teaser. Did this movie live up to the expectations I had ?well no. Was the movie bad? Absolutely not. The first Time I saw the movie I like it, but on viewing it second time I liked it even more.
Like: The story, the movie is based on true events but its narrative is fictional.
Cast: There are two consistentgood thing on movie. One is performance of the cast. Hwang jung min and his onscreen daughter kim su ahn did phenonemal job. They are powerhouse of talent.
So ji sub, tbh the first 10 minutes of his performance were bored to me. Thankfully he picked it up later and h acting in last few minutes were heart breaking.
Song joong ki, ow did he landed on island? That's an unanswered question. His role compared to other four is short but, his character park moo young takes centre stage in last 30minutes. But he made an impact on me. He did a great job.
Lee Jun hyun, she is delight to watch. You will root for her the moment she appears on screen.
Action scenes in this movie are on par with Hollywood.
I wish the movies creenplay was tighter and well clean in the first 30minutes of movie. Editing too was issue. But overall movie is worth to watch for it's story, message and cast.

Won tickets to the Gala Premiere (and managed to see them live...hehe) and this movie was....wow!
Scenes were very very well shot, just the right amount of humour and suspense. The best actor is DEFINITELY Hwang Jung Min and the little girl that plays his daughter in this show. I was kept on my toes throughout the show. Song Joong Ki and So Ji Sub mentioned to us before the show started to "put aside all political views and just enjoy the show". Was wondering why they said that but as I watched it, I understood, because it is a really REALLY political-based show. So put aside your own political views, and just enjoy this show :)

Low rewatch value because the best part of the show is the suspense.
