The Front Line Reviews
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
While its tone and humanity offset the futility of each side's need for one crucial hill, much of this intense, honorable film is too drawn-out.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
A movie that reserves its final sickening wallop for a grueling half-hour that leaves you as emotionally battered as the soldiers are forced to return to hell for one last senseless round.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
A potent anti-war movie with breathtaking battle sequences.
AV Club
Noel Murray
The action in The Front Line is bloody and tense, but the movie also reduces war to its simplest terms...
Los Angeles Times
Glenn Whipp
A war movie not quite worth engaging.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
This strong, assured Band of Brothers-style drama from director Jang Hun makes universal points about bonding, misery, loyalty, and the senselessness of war through a portfolio of soldiers.
Movie Metropolis
James Plath
If you like war movies, this one is a dandy. Sure, you'll recognize some of the genre's shopworn conventions, but there are enough unique twists and details to make "The Front Line" memorable.
Slant Magazine
Bill Weber
Both brutal and sentimental, this Oscar-submitted Korean war drama offers up rusty tropes as telling ironies.
ColeSmithey.com
Cole Smithey
South Korea's impressive entry for the 2011 foreign-language Oscar race offers a different kind of war picture in its foreshadowed setting of the blood-soaked front line between North and South Korea during the 1950-53 war.
Movieline
Michelle Orange
Hollywood clichs pervade The Front Line, from its slate and sepia tones to its stock company of characters and dialogue that translates macho posturing into present-day slang.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
We can be grateful that a Jang Hun comes along now and then to inscribe a human record.
Village Voice
Ernest Hardy
Quick, unexpected flashes engross the viewer in this Korean War tale even as the script is filled with conventional war movie tropes and types.
Battleship Pretension
Josh Long
The Front Line succeeds in presenting an emotional war story that speaks to lingering issues within Korea.
Seanax.com
Sean Axmaker
The themes and characters are right out of any number of classic war movies, but... the frontline culture, so at odds with military discipline and command, is fascinating.
