This film is set during the second Manchu invasion into Korea. I was told to watch this movie, being a history buff, so I gave it a chance. It's about a warrior who knows how to shoot his arrow and who wants to save his sister. During the movie there is a lot of fighting, actually nothing but fighting. I was not always sure who was fighting against whom and for which reason and it doesn't matter very much either. There is some stuning videography when the camera follows the arrow, but that doesn't save the movie.
Is it about history? No. What was the result of this Manchu invasion? What was its impact? Were there major incidents? Nothing we learn about history. Maybe it's common knowledge in Korea? History is just a pretext to make yet another war movie.
It gets 3/10.
