Busan 2014 Review: Cool KUNDO: AGE OF THE RAMPANT Has Some Swagger In Its Step


Part of MKC's coverage of the 19th Busan International Film Festival

By Pierce Conran

With big stars and a hefty budget, Kundo: Age Of The Rampant marches into theaters with confidence and tongue planted firmly in cheek. This hybrid period film owes more to spaghetti westerns than the history of its Joseon Era setting and some may take umbrage at the film's excessive running time, but with a raucous charm and an array of well-mined genre tropes, it's sure to keep most spectators satisfied.
