We all enjoy a good war movie and many people love the returning Prison Break TV Series, what if you could combine the two? Step forward Ryoo Seung-wan's Battleship Island brings Prison drama to period based action and this summer Korean cinemas will see what it has to offer.
The movie does look like a different direction for the director whose best-known film been the 2015 crime crama Veteran. Larger in scale, more character driven and when things get bigger more melodramatic.
Check out the trailer...
During the Japanese colonial era, hundreds of Korean people, who were forced onto Battleship Island (a.k.a. Hashima Island) to mine for coal, risk their lives to escape.
Hwang Jung-min features as Lee Kang-ok who is a bandmaster at Kyungsung Hotel while So Ji-sub as Choi Chil-sung who is the top fighter in Kyungsung (old name of “Seoul”). Meanwhile, Song Joong-ki plays Park Moo-young who belongs to the Korean Independence group and sneaks onto Battleship Island to rescue a member of the independence group.
Battleship Island also stars Hwang Jeong-min and So Ji-sub.
