Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted June 10, 2014 Moderator Share Posted June 10, 2014 The director of 'Quick', Jo Beom-goo, is back with a new movie starring Jung Woo-sung and Ahn Sung-ki, which looks to combine the peaceful game of Go with some bone crunching action. While 'Quick' wasn't everyones cup of tea due to the bawdy humour and somewhat recycled action tropes, 'The Divine Move' looks to be a huge improvement, with a gritty feel thanks to its underground gambling setting, and what looks to be plenty of grounded action, as Jung Woo-sung dishes out what Korean movies frequently do best - revenge.

Member Gwai LO Posted November 12, 2014 Member Share Posted November 12, 2014 I've wathed the trailer a few times and I still can't really understand what's going on? I've never heard of the game they are playing.. But it looks kinda cool.. I like the look of the room where they both for the knives and they are playing until the death..I'm interested in seeing some reviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be considered the Asian version of Chess of sorts. It still has a loyal following in Korea. The same board is used to play another game that looks more closer to chess called janggi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(game) From the title and trailer, on would assume that someone in the movie has a move/strategy that no one has thought of considered almost divine in nature. Sort of liked Quick. Korea's version of Speed on a motorcycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted January 15, 2015 Author Moderator Share Posted January 15, 2015 I got through watching this one recently....along with 'No Tears for the Dead' and 'Man on High Heels', 2014 was certainly the year that the knife fight came back with a vengeance to Korean cinema! Check out my full review here - http://www.cityonfire.com/the-divine-move-2014-review/ Do you think their will be a blu Ray release? Yes, it got released on 24th December - http://www.yesasia.com/global/1037632171-0-0-0-en/info.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member QueMuchita Posted January 16, 2015 Member Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hmmm... Reviews haven't done too much to make me want to hurry and see this. I think I'll check out 'Man on High Heels' before I see this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member yojimbo Posted January 27, 2015 Member Share Posted January 27, 2015 I agree with the review over at Han Cinema after having seeing this movie. Ok action without shaky cameras to ruin things. Story moves along at 1hr 30 minutes. However, certain elements and characters are textbook cookie cutter add ons that don't get enough of a backstory to make them sympathetic. A quick watchable movie but it will probably be largely be forgotten over time. A Man on High Heels has better stylish brutal action. The main story element just might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Member ShaOW!linDude Posted February 4, 2015 Member Share Posted February 4, 2015 Region 1 DVD is out on March 17th, with the worse cover imaginable - A not so divine move, you might say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted March 10, 2015 Member Share Posted March 10, 2015 A not so divine move, you might say. Yeah I think it's done to get a more exploitative feel so fans can grab it, but in any case, I got an advanced copy of the U.S. Blu-Ray yesterday and I'm going to watch it today (on Spring Break this week yippee!) and will review it.
