Review of The Yellow Sea (2010) by Sheldon C — 21 Jul 2011
Director Na Hong-Jin's sophomore feature, THE YELLOW SEA is a crisp thriller that features excellent cinematography and a distinct style that has been prevalent in both this and his previous film (The Chaser) - a consistent sign of bravura filmmaking and likewise an auspicious start to a potentially great career.
YELLOW SEA takes its time to get rolling but once it does, the ride is brutally violent and daringly unsympathetic - as if we were watching water slowly boil, but where the boiling point lasts ten times as long and swells again wave after wave after wave.
