Steel Rain (2017)

Excellent Thriller

“Steel Rain” is one of South Korea's finest action films, also starring two brilliant actors. The Cast, Writer, and Director are all excellent. Though some of the plot may be a little confusing or overly complex, and some photo-shopping not very realistic, along with the pace in the last 25 minutes being almost breathless, the rest of the film is excellent and quite thrilling. But in addition to the action is the friendship between the leads, which is mature and becomes deeply moving. Both actors are terrific, especially Jung Woo-sung, who can play any role, and has been one of the great actors in the world for over 20 years. He does it again here—completely believable as the North Korean officer trying to stop a tragedy, and the gentle husband, father, and friend who says more with his eyes than most actors can. But his co-star, Kwak Do-won is also very skilled, and holds his own beautifully with a sensitive portrayal of a South Korean who believes in his new friend and keeps a promise. Strongly Recommended.
