Gregory B.

Wonderful situation comedy of gangsters vs buddhist monks. Lessons to be learned about compassion, having fun and what separates the criminal from the divine. A fine Korean film suitable for all ages and a great introduction into another cultures movie making set with their own cultural heritages.

From what my mother told me, this was a hit in South Korea. I found the story easy to follow, and although I classify this movie as a drama, there were some scenes that was extremely funny as well as some action. I found my distaste for the characters to change by the end of the movie. I did crave for more action, but the movie as it stands is enjoyable.
