Top critics, in their words
Rotten
For all its gloss, "Kundo" fails to resonate. You appreciate the execution, but the film is hindered by its lack of novelty and metaphorical weight.

Soren Anderson, Seattle Times

An often entertaining if overlong look at the last days of Korea's Joseon Dynasty.
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

Kundo is not the best film of its type, but it's an entertaining amalgam.
