Set during the second Manchu invasion of Korea, a lethal archer goes up against the Qing Dynasty to save his younger sister who was dragged away by Mongolian invaders. Fans of kick-ass archery will be in heaven here. Both the protagonist and the antagonists use bows and arrows almost exclusively. The pacing is very fast, with the entire second half consisting of a footchase/shootout in a forest. Most of the action is grounded and realistic, with a few exceptions. Acting is solid too. Very exciting and totally entertaining.

This movie is very well done. The action is intense and riveting. From beginning to end, the movie will keep you glue to the screen. A rare telling of Manchurian attempted invasion of Korea.

"You're now Ja-in's father, you must take care of your sister until you die." After getting into an argument with his sisters fiancé Nam-Yi leaves his village before her wedding. When he returns he is told of the attack and kidnapping of his sister and sets out with his bow to get her back and exact revenge. As many of you may know I have never really been a big fan of these epic martial arts type movies. There have been a few I liked but not many. This one may be the best one I have seen since "Hero". This movie grabs you from the opening scene and is action packed and keeps you interested the entire time. The story and action are very well done and there is not a dull moment in this at all. There are some very brutal scenes in this but it's not over the top at all and it helps the story. For fans of this genre this is a must see. For those like me who can go either way this is still a movie that is very much worth watching. Overall, one of the best of this genre I have seen. I give it an A.

Loved this from the beginning to finale, what a thrill ride once the action got started. The use of the bow and arrow in this film was given the birds eye view, you ar e able to see the arrows in action, and had spectacular action sequences that did not let up,don't want to give any of this gem away,see it for yourself, a good Saturday night flick.

This movie was 2011 Top movie in Korea. I had a chance to watch on the plane. Wow. Couldn't believe it was made by Korea. Perfect script, laser-like camera walk, actions, acting... can't take my eyes off from the little screen for 2 hours. Just did pre-order to watch on big screen.True advance of Korean Cinema. I am proud of it! If you like a epic drama of a hero like "Gladiator" with Oriental touch, this movie is for you.
