This was a pretty good Korean war flick that details the heroic true story of 71 "student soldiers" ordered to defend a school that was key to holding off the invading North Korean army during the Korean war in 1950. Although good, the flick does suffer from some logical story issues, but that's my only real complaint about the pic. The rest was beautifully shot and offered a very intriguing story and decent character development for our leads (though could have been a bit better).

K-cinema fans may recognize some of the faces on the poster, namely Seung-won Cha (Attack the Gas Station, Kick the Moon, Blades of Blood), who plays a North Korean commander and Sang-woo Kwon (Volcano High, Once Upon A Time In Highschool, Fate), who plays one of the lead student soldiers.

As far as Korean war films go, Tae Guk Gi is still the far superior of the two, but this was still a pretty good effort. Worth a check, especially if you're into war pics.

7/10
