i must have seen a different film!!

The acting in this movie is really good.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Maybe some of you would say that this movie is good and appalling.Yes, they make the prosthetic faces disgusting enough for some of you. But, just that nothing more. With addition a little bit of action, many talks and talks again, and there even no a slightest humor in there: make this 2 hour long movie seems so boring.And for the plot, there so many obscurities about that: the origin of viruses, how they spread, etc etc.For us to know, that this film is a horror genre, there is no use to make the quasi-dramtical int there. The film should scare us in the context of amusement, instead of that, this film just makes me irritated. They makes the horror movie halfheartedly.And 2 hours seems like forever.

Pros: -Well acted. Many actors in military-themed movies do not do a good job of being believable soldiers. Being former military, it's important for me to believe that the characters really act like guys in the military, even when they are just hanging around. These guys did a pretty good job. Let it be known, however, Koreans soldiers seem to be much more comfortable around each other in the shower than Americans do. I can't even imagine what would have happened in the American military if one guy would have asked another to wash his back in a open-bay shower. -Cinematography is pretty clean through most of the movie. Nice, sharp shots, good angles, etc. -Easy to get into the story line. Can quickly pick out who you would like to see prevail, though this may change. No one is really a bad guy or a good guy, just normal people trying to deal with a crappy situation in their own way. -Had never seen a Korean flick before, and I dug it. -If you like Mexican standoffs, this will become you're favorite movie, as they are numerous, long, and none end in a draw.Cons: -The subtitles often don't show a complete statement. This happens often. Example, 'Remember that time we saw that...' and that's it, no more words in the subtitle. You know the actor finished the line in Korean, because the other in guy in the scene may say 'Yeah, I remember that'. -As other reviews on here mention, does get confusing at times as the time line shifts and the same scenes are reflected back upon, but the character is remembering events in different ways as the disease changes his perspective. I understand the reason for all this, but the unevenness of how it was applied hurt my head at times. -If you don't like Mexican standoffs, you won't like a third of this movie.That's about it. The pros outweighed the cons. Not a 'must see' but certainly a 'worth seeing' if this is you're genre.

At a guard post along the DMZ something odd has happened. When a military police officer goes to investigate what he finds is far from pretty, an odd disease seems to be spreading.Military mystery with horror overtones, is an okay film. There is a certain amount of tension generated as the claustrophobic nature of the post and the uncertainty of what is going on really keeps you on pins and needles for a while, but in the end the hows and whys and all don't really warrant the one minute beyond two hour running time. We've been here before and despite a game cast and some novel twists the parts don't equal the whole. For me as the story played out it reached a point somewhere in the last hour where it started to be less engaging (something the directors similar R-Point did as well) and my patience began to lag. I was invested enough to get to the fade out but in the end it just wasn't anything special, despite some great sequences (which I can't describe lest it give too much plot away- thats the problem the novel things are too few that revealing them would take away any reason to see this film). Certainly it wasn't worth the effort it took me to watch it (my DVD player was uncooperative and I had to move a couple of times to a less happy location to see it), but it is worth a peek if you have an easier time of it and you have the spoilers kept to a minimum.

Like many of you who've seen this flick or who are about to see it, you most likely have grown to really appreciate South Korea's brand of film-making. From the Chan Wook Park Revenge Trilogy to whacked out films like Save the Green Planet, S. Korea is certainly a lead runner in countries that are producing some of the best modern movies. So when I had the opportunity to check out G.P. 506, I pretty much jumped at the chance. And like the consistent output of this country's cinema, this is also another entry to add to their ever growing list of accomplished films.G.P. 506 is pretty weird. It's encompasses drama, mystery and horror, and does a pretty good job doing so. Going into the flick I was only aware of it's horror elements, so be fore-warned that this film is not solely horror. It's more so a mystery/drama than anything else, though horror elements are clearly present. Anyways, the story revolves around a G.P. aka Guard Post, that has fallen silent. An investigator and new team go in to investigate and what they find is horrific and completely puzzling. With a theme of infection, the movie eventually becomes a survival-type flick with lots of second-guessing. Which is most definitely a fresh take on this type of genre.Overall, G.P. 506 was a pretty good ride. The film delivers good acting, nice direction and solid atmosphere. But it also leaves you with too many questions when the film ends. And ones that you really can't just think of some philosophical answer for. It's more like: I wish they showed this or showed more of that.... Also, the flashbacks were somewhat hard to read. Only by the end did I begin to grasp them.Nevertheless, the flick was entertaining enough and is easily recommendable for people who enjoy a slow-burn type of flick. Being a fan of South Korean cinema wouldn't hurt either.
