About This DVD
A man without a country finds himself caught between the forces of a divided
Korea in Typhoon, the latest film from director Kwak Kyung Taek, the man behind
the 2001 box office smash Friend and his 2002 follow-up Champion. In this story
of a dangerous game of cat and mouse between two adept adversaries, director
Kwak reteams with his Friend leading man, Jang Dong Gun and adds Lee Jeong Jae
(from Oh! Brothers) to the mix as the nemesis of Jang's character. In this
tense, pulse-pounding adventure, Jang portrays a pirate by the name of Myeong
Shin, a rebellious upstart who defects from North Korea only to find himself
turned away by South Korean authorities.
Furious at this blatant snub, the fanatically motivated Myeong Shin decides to
exact vengeance on South Korea, engaging in a level of terrorism that could very
well result in numerous deaths across both Koreas. Myeong Shin's opponent in
this high seas adventure is Kang Se Jong (Lee Jeong Jae), an honorable naval
officer who'll do whatever it takes to bring Myeong Shin to justice. Much in the
same spirit as the hit film Taegukgi, Kwak Kyung Taek's latest is a big budget
blockbuster that seeks to comment on North and South Korean tensions, but here
the emphasis is not on the bonds of brotherhood, but on the inescapable showdown
that will befall these two protagonists! As the highest budgeted film in Korean
Cinema history, with numerous locations including Pusan, Thailand, and Russia,
Typhoon is one blockbuster that's sure to make waves among audiences everywhere!
