A train is heading somewhere in Manchuria. In it is an official with a very important map. The Bad, Lee Byung Hun is a hired killer and robber sent to retrieve this map. The Good, Jung Woo Sung is a bounty hunter hunting Lee Byung Hoon and the weird, Song Kang Ho is a small time thief who just happens to be robbing this particular train. He stumbles across the official and ends up taking the map, unaware of its value, hence the movie sets off. This movie doesn't take itself seriously and neither should you. It is packaged silliness that is entertaining. However, it is merely that. The movie is a sequences of shoot outs and explosions in different settings, nothing more. The plot is a warped mess that merely serves to package these repetitive shoot outs. While it doesn't take itself seriously, it would still be a far better film if they packaged it better. Heck, the directing cannot keep up with these shoot outs. Also, bullets are solely reserved for everyone else that is not the lead and that's to be expected but sometimes, the leads just shoot in a general direction and the bullets magically fly to a destination and hit somebody. Nonetheless, this is still entertaining with hints of cheesiness that pay homage to classic westerns. The characters really carry this and despite some repetitiveness, it's still fun to watch. Song Kang Ho for me is the stand out of this as his character helps shape this movie. There are some decent action sequences and despite the muddled plot, it's fun to watch the interactions the main characters have with each other. Overall, hugely entertaining, a messy plot beyond the satirical nature of this but one to watch.
