Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Like a poor mana(TM)s Tony Scott movie.

rotten:
Caught up in a triple vortex of poor scripting, unexciting action and leads you couldn't care less about, the pic boasts good production values but little else.

rotten:
Typhoon aims high but misses the emotional mark in most instances, resulting in some awkward melodramatics.

rotten:
Director Kyung-Taek Kwak orchestrates all this with flair, but leading man Lee doesn't have much to offer beyond a steely stoicism, and Jang's histrionic villainy borders on the parodic.

fresh:
The movie delivers the same old American action-flick themes of catastrophe narrowly averted, but the Korean version alters the meaning from triumph to sorrow.
