This customer review refers to Shiri (DTS Version) (Hong Kong Version)
Be aware this is a not a widescreen version!
| I was very disappointed when I received this DVD because the movie is presented in a letterbox format (for standard TVs) and this fact is not disclosed in the product description of the YesAsia web-site. Anyway it seems the publisher worked hard to introduce a DTS sound, but forgot to improve the format. The movie itself is excellent though. |

When I dream
|
Wow! This movie is one of the best Action movies I have seen in my entire life. Its a movie that could really only be produced in Korea (possibly Germany when it was also divided) and has realistic gun fighting as well as a really great love story. The love story is the best part of the film and it is what sets it apart from the Hollywood Action movies. There is a girl (like in all action movies), but she is more than just a passive princess that needs to be protected and really only serves that function... In this movie she is like super integral to the story, and it makes the movie super melodramatic too. I never noticed that she actually plays two parts in the film... She is the N. Korean agent and she is also the patient who the N. Korean agent modeled her plastic surgery on. A lot of action sequences are very familiar to the typical american though, you will constatnly be expereinceing deja vu in a lot of the shots...the Music is also very Hans Zimmer. (No Car chase scene though) What makes the film unique is the political commentary... the movie doesn't portray N. Koreans as monsters but instead gives a symphatetic view. The symbolism of the Shiri and Reunification is also really cool. I love the song they play during the credits. |

better than yesterday
| I was hesitant to buy this title because I didn't like "Yesterday". When I saw this movie, I figured maybe it was as boring, yet I still decided to give it a shot anyway. To my surprise, it is better, although I have to admit that there were some scenes that I didn't get. It's worth your time. For collection? You decide. |

shiri is one of the best asian flicks out there
| shiri was a terrific movie. the beginning may have been slow, but it was to be the introduction to the story ahead and portray the characters. it was a good movie that used analogies to portray the differences we all have inside and how they can be seen as either good or bad. shiri also showed the world the situations of north and south korea, which is sometimes hard to find. also, yun-jin kim is hella hot. |

Not so good
| This movie is only so so, the story is so predictable. Acting was OK but no pretty faces. Wonder why it could break Titanic box office in Korea when it was released locally. I did not find it exciting at all. Too much hype. Wasted my money on the DVD, should have got VCD instead! |
