In the desert wilderness in 1939, Park Chang-yi The Bad is hired to steal a treasure map from a Japanese offical traveling by train. Meanwhile, Yoon Tea-goo the Weird, who is a master thief, involves in the case and takes it before The Bad does. Park Do-won The Good, who is a bounty hunter, has a mission of stopping them and saving the treasure map. Involving in the chase are the Japanese Army and the Chinese bandits.
With a nod and a wink to Sergio Leone, South Korean filmmaker Kim Jee-woon delivers a slam-bang western set in Manchuria after the Japanese invasion in 1931.
It isn't the film's style-over-substance approach that prevents it from being as engaging and entertaining as it desires; it's the lack of cohesiveness and discernible rhythm.
Thrill-seekers, rejoice. Here's the summer blockbuster you've been waiting for -- no, dreaming of. The Good, the Bad, the Weird is to Hollywood's puny efforts what the Large Hadron Collider is to a Hula Hoop.
A giddy mashup of Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns and Lucas and Spielberg's Indiana Jones romps, this guns-a-blazing wide-screen Korean hit offers a nuttily staged, beautifully filmed, but kind of brainless homage to old-school Hollywood.
