movie} the good, the bad, the weird. 180909

The Good ,



The Bad,



The Weird.



"One map. Three villians. Winner takes all."

The background is the wilderness of 1930s Manchuria. The Bad (a hitman) is hired to acquire a treasure map from a Japanese official traveling on a train, but The Weird (a thief) steals the map from the Japanese official when he robs him on the train. Just after that, The Bad manages to stop the train and a slaughter of Japanese and Manchurian guards ensues. The Good (a Bounty hunter) appears on the scene with his shotgun in hand and tries to kill The Bad. Meanwhile The Weird manages to escape to the Ghost Market, to figure the map out and escape from his pursuers. In this unpredictable, escalating battle for the map with the Imperial Japanese Army, and Manchurian bandits also after the map, who will survive and claim the supposed treasure?

(although they're standing in a "The Good, The Weird, The Bad" position. hahaha.)

I must say, this movie is not bad. Really action packed. (: It's PG-18 though, for its violence.

But the main reason why I watched this is because..

Lee Byung Hun is taking the role as THE BAD. Him in black suit is WOW.

Eeeep, eye candy! :D ! His evil-ness is really yummy. No mercy, like seriously. I think the most favourite part in this movie is the train scene. The three baddies get together without knowing anything yet. THE WEIRD is also a really funny character, he makes the show fun with his presence. THE GOOD, hmm, just like a good guy in any films. I really like his outfit though. He somehow reminds me of my younger days Kemahiran Hidup (Living Skills) teacher.

Don't want to write much about this, but overall, I liked the movie. (:
