Screener Review: MEMORIES OF THE SWORD (2015)
Though despite the visual onslaught of slow motion action, this movie is still a drama. Veteran actors of Lee and Jeon give great performances of their fallen hero characters, while newcomers like Kim Go-Eun and Lee Jun-Ho are definite grabs for the younger audience. All in all, this is a great looking film, but it really doesn’t break any walls. And it doesn’t mean to.
