Product Description

Award winning director of The Chaser NA HONG-JIN now brings us the enthralling action packed thriller THE YELLOW SEA .

SYNOPSIS: Gu-nam is a desperate gambler and debt-ridden taxi driver in Yanji City in a region that has adjoining borders to North Korea, China and Russia. His wife fled to South Korea six months earlier and he hasn t heard from her since. In order to repay his debts and find his wife this mild unassuming man accepts a contract killing from hit man Myun-ga.

Crossing the dangerous Yellow Sea to Seoul he seeks out both his target and wife, but soon finds himself in the middle of a dangerous conspiracy of lies and betrayal. Before he can fulfil the contract, he witnesses others murder his target. Fleeing the scene, he is not only being pursued by the police, but those responsible.

THE YELLOW SEA is the first Korean film to ever receive investment from a major Hollywood studio (Fox International Productions).

REVIEWS: A gripping existentialist thriller, where jealousy, greed and desperation lead inexorably to a chaos of carnage, and where exile and death cross borders to merge into an emotionally-charged sequence of final images. (4.5 stars) - Film 4

Writer-director Na Hong-Jin achieves a vibe of urban desolation right off the bat, and deepens the mayhem with acutely observed and charged details about illegal-immigrant life. (4.5 stars) Village Voice

Fast and tense with twists that keep you on the edge of your seat. (4.5 stars) Electric Sheep Magazine

EXTRAS:

  • 8 behind the scenes featurettes
  • 4 Trailers

5.0 out of 5 starsOne of the year's best....
By twitter-bird on 20 Dec. 2012
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
The new movie from the director of 'The Chaser' is as good and even more thrilling. I might point out at this point that Amazon does not advertise that this is the director's preferred and longer cut which has only been available thus far in Korea. The blu-ray is exemplary and I would suggest to anyone who loves World Cinema and Korean movies in particular to get this release while it is still available. The sub-titles have been newly translated and the main special feature is actually quite sufficient - a documentary comprising of smaller features which reveal the film-making process.

I won't go into too much detail about the film so as not to spoil it for anyone but suffice to say that if you enjoyed 'The Chaser', as well as other Korean movies such as 'Nowhere to Hide', 'Tell Me Something', 'Green Fish' and any of the great Korean thrillers between 1999 and 2005 will be well-pleased with this film. Of recent some Korean Thrillers have failed to reach the heights of the aforementioned with the exception of 'I Saw the Devil',and 'The Man from Nowhere' but 'The Yellow Sea' is very much a return to form.

The blu-ray release is from Bounty Films and distributed By Eureka. The cover and case are slightly different from the one shown on Amazon U.K. in that the case is light green and the cover has additional text.

If you buy just one film this year - this ought to be the one! Watch it back-to-back with 'A Bittersweet Life' and you will see why people like me talk about how some of the best films over the last twelve years have come from South Korea. Make it a Korean film night with 'Epitaph' and 'The Host' and you will feel like you are in film heaven!

5.0 out of 5 starsGREAT ACTION + SUSPENSE
By sabu on 14 Mar. 2012
Format: DVD
This is truly a vicious tale that will totally grab your attention from beginning to end. A poor taxi driver strikes a bargain that he feels will get him out of debt once and for all. What it does is set him up for betrayal and he winds up running for his life from the cops and a vicious band of killers.

5.0 out of 5 starsHacking Good Fun
By Robotman on 25 Dec. 2011
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
I saw this at the Melbourne International Film Festival in 2011 and have been dying to finally get this on blu-ray. This is a movie that has very few guns but all the knives and meat cleavers you could ask for. And uses them all.

The violence is brutal, bloody and often up close. It is also excessive and never ending. Western films often glorify an intense moment of violence whilst The Yellow Sea follows it to its (un)natural conclusion. Remember the days when Seagal would walk into a room with a knife and kill everybody? This is the modern equivalent but done with Asian flair, outstanding production values, and a human-centred, relevant and modern tale. Like many Asian films, it's also slightly confusing if your mind switches to autopilot. So whilst you could watch this as a straight 'action' film and be happy with the violence, it's much better getting involved in the story too.

The perfect non-Western action film.

5.0 out of 5 starsthe chased
By N. Chandran on 19 July 2012
Format: DVD
this movie is by the same guy who made the chaser and stars the same two main protogonists in the earlier movie. but this time around, the roles are swapped and the pimp from chaser is the baddie while the psycho from chaser is the good guy.

offered a chance to clear his debts by taking up a contract killing, a north korean immigrant in china goes to seoul (south korea) to complete his mission and also find his wife who had moved there earlier.

but things aren't always what they seem and so the story veers from one twist to another to climax tragically ...

the hypnotic music, the grainy amosphere, the hardships of illegal immigration, the savegery of mob life and the varied dynamics of the human condition make this movie a very entertaining offering from south korea. you just can't beat these guys when it comes to thrillers.

5.0 out of 5 starsKorean Tale of Murder, Double Crosses, Car Chases, Inept Cops and Mah-Jong!
By Tommy Dooley TOP 100 REVIEWER on 18 Jun. 2012
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
This is a truly stupendous film that takes a while to sink in. It is South Korean (with sub titles) but starts its story in Yanju City in the Yanbian Province of China. This is an area next to the borders of North Korea, Russia and China, the local Koreans are referred to as Joseonjoks and Gu Nam (Ha Jung-Woo) is one such man. He has borrowed 60,000 Yuan to send his wife to a better life in Korea, but that was six months ago and he has not heard from her, most suspect that she is a bit of a flibbertigibbet and as such has dumped him and their daughter for the high life of making a living from lying down. He meanwhile has to repay the debt to some local low life's. The money he makes as a taxi driver is not a lot, so he augments this by gambling on Mah-Jong.

However, he is as adept at gambling as a high wire actor with vertigo. Thus his debts start mounting, then he gets approached by local gangster and all round nasty bloke, Myun jung-Hak (Kim Yoon-seok), who offers him a wad of cash and a bank deposit account - without the Pin. He gets that on delivery of the thumb of a Korean man he wants to be `taken out', and I don't mean to a local restaurant.

Thus he is despatched to South Korea, but things do not go as planned and whilst trying to find his wife and carry out the job, he unintentionally end up being on the wrong side of the Chinese mafia, the police and the Korean mob. What happens next is a movie so full of twists as to make your eyes water. We have some spectacular car chases, gory violence, manic man hunts and what can only be described as good old fashioned medieval butchery.Read more ›
