Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
An eye-popping, empty-headed World War II epic made in South Korea.
– V.A. Musetto,

rotten:
"My Way," billed as the most expensive Korean film in history ($25 million) is epic, packed with action - and it's lousy.

rotten:
Adolescent boys will savour My Way's bombast and solemnity. Cringing adult audiences will more likely beat a retreat before final call.

They should have spent more on the screenplay.

fresh:
Given its aggressiveness in all cinematic matters, My Way manages to color in the personal stakes with enough clarity to keep you caring about the players set loose on its massive canvas.
