The good, the bad, the weird

With two of the best Korean actors (Song Kang-ho and Lee Byung-hun) on board, the film, on paper, appealed to me instantly. Yet like a lot of films with high profile actors and yet following a strict genre framework, it didn't work for me. It was a poor copycat of an typical western. And the character played by Lee was a total failure. This was particularly poignant after watching his subtle performance in The Harmonium in My Memory barely 24 hours ago.
