Korean director Kim Jin-Woon pays homage to the master of the spaghetti western, Sergio Leone, with this action-packed adventure film set in 1930s Japanese-occupied Manchuria. A trio of Korean outlaws (played by Kang-Ho Son, Byung-Hun Lee, and Woo-Sun Jung) battle with the Japanese army and various Chinese and Russian bandits, bounty hunters and train robbers to gain control of the lawless territory.
