The Good, The Bad, The Weird
The best thing about being a Korean criminal is that after police get a description, they'll put out an APB for a Japanese guy.
And while the outlaw in this action movie isn't Japanese, he does steal a map from someone who is.
Manchuria, 1930 – an assassin aboard a train, The Bad (Lee Byung-hun), attempts to pinch a priceless map from a passenger.
However, a thief, The Weird (Song Kang-ho), procures the parchment before he can.
What follows is a chase through the desert with: The Weird being pursued by The Bad; The Bad being stalked by a bounty hunter, The Good (Jung Woo-sung); and the Japanese army hot on their tails.
With the grit of an Italian western and the kinetic shootouts of Korean action cinema, The Good, The Bad, The Weird is a scrumptious fusion of the two genres.
Much like their food equivalent: Spaghetti and Dog Meatballs. (Green Light)
