Steel Rain

South Korean film that explores the North/South relationship through a politically intense scenario. Of course this plot is fiction and far fetched, but I found it to be interesting how the relational aspects of individual attitudes toward North-South relations played out. In this story, a coup in the North leads to a Northern special ops soldier bringing an injured "Number One" to the south. There he is attacked by North and South alike while he tries to figure out how to save his leaders life and prevent a nuclear war on the peninsula (pressured of course by U.S., China, Japan). Watch this for more than just the spy action.
4 stars (out of 5)
