This one's been delayed for a while, presumably because of some publicity concerns surrounding Lee Byung-hun's private life. Hopefully that's the only reason this has been delayed because this sounds like a pretty epic period film with a strong cast. That said, the veteran director is not know for action and the buzz on this has faded.

  1. Lee Byung Hun's other movie 'Inside Men' is what you have to see this year.
