Member daisho2004 Posted July 23, 2012 Member Share Posted July 23, 2012 Here is another Korean movie that looks really good. Winner of Best Film and Best Actor at the 48th Baeksang Arts Awards, the critically acclaimed blockbuster Unbowed is inspired by a true case that gripped Korean headlines in 2007. In what was dubbed the "crossbow terror" incident, a professor was charged for shooting an arrow at a judge. Unbowed brings that case to the silver screen in a compelling courtroom drama that examines the truth behind the truth and exposes the flaws of the legal system. Legendary actor Ahn Sung Ki delivers a dynamic, dignified performance as the defendant who refuses to back down. Park Won Sang co-stars as his attorney, Na Young Hee as his wife, and Kim Ji Ho as a reporter covering the case. Unbowed is the first narrative feature in over a decade from director Chung Ji Young, who made many films in the nineties, including White Badge and Beyond the Mountain. After being unfairly dismissed, professor Kim Kyung Ho (Ahn Sung Ki) files a lawsuit against his university, but the residing judge Park Bong Joo (Kim Eung Soo) rules against Kim despite strong evidence supporting his claim. Kim confronts Park outside his home, with a crossbow and arrow in hand. After the ensuing struggle, the police arrive on the scene and Kim is apprehended for assault. Park claims Kim shot him, but Kim insists he did not. The media is out in full when court opens, and much is at stake for Kim, Park, and the judicial office. Kim and his attorney (Park Won Sang) throw the law back at the court, questioning the shaky evidence and unfair trial proceedings, but the guilty verdict seems to have been decided even before the case is tried. http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNBOWED-2012-Korean-Thriller-DVD-Official-Eng-Sub-/360469876067?pt=US_DVD_HD_DVD_Blu_ray&hash=item53edadcd63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member daisho2004 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Member Share Posted September 6, 2012 OK I watched this movie last night and it was excellent, no action but a great drama, it really showed how corrupt the Korean Judicial system is. The Prosecutor had no evidence but they tried to sentenced a Man to Jail and he & his lawyer broke all of the false evidence down including testimony from the witnesses. But the court Judges over looked everything, and you got to see how corrupt a government can really be. Definitely a must see movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
