The Age of Shadows Rating: Director: Kim Jee-woon Writing Credit: Kim Jee-woon Cast: Yoo Gong, Song Kang-ho Rated: Not rated, but contains violence – a guy rips off his own toe! Genre: Spy thriller Duration: 140 minutes Synopsis: A police captain in occupied Korea finds his loyalties tested. Song Kang-ho (from Snowpiercer) stars as Lee Jung-cheol, a Korean working as a police captain for the ruling Japanese forces. There are also informants, misinformation, double- and triple-crosses galore, and some subtitled dialogue so crackling it made me wish I could understand the original Korean. But it would be pushing things too far to say it goes off the rails.
