| User ReviewWayne OA MUST SEE HISTORY DRAMA. i think they could've succeed in taking out kim il sung. too bad ROK president is such a fucking pussy. |
| User ReviewStephanie KA very powerful movie. You'll never forget it. I watched it with my cousin and while I was shocked and on edge, crying and emotional my cousin was playing with my cat saying how cute she was. So I urge anyone about to go watch this to be prepaired for it, it's a bit of a hard movie to watch and well, even harder if the person watching with you has a short attention span. |
