TRAILER: The Age Of Shadows

After a series of action movies in his homeland of South Korea, director Kim Jee-woon got busy with a western movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.  The Last Stand under performed, but if you ask me it was fairly decent and somewhat underrated.  Johnny Knoxville notwithstanding.

Now Kim Jee-woon will return to South Korea for this upcoming historical thriller, The Age of Shadows.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Set in the late 1920s, The Age of Shadows follows the cat-and-mouse game that unfolds between a group of resistance fighters led by Gong’s character, trying to bring in explosives from Shanghai to destroy key Japanese facilities in Seoul, and Japanese agents trying to stop them. Song plays a talented Korean-born Japanese police officer who was previously in the independence movement himself and is thrown into a dilemma between the demands of his reality and the instinct to support a greater cause.
