Aug 16, 2025THE BATTLESHIP ISLAND is another exemplary slice of filmmaking from South Korea, with the kind of perfect direction that rival Hollywood directors can only dream about. The setting is the grubby tail-end of 1945, where miners work in a Japanese-controlled prison camp and the Koreans must contend with corruption, betrayal, rivalry and resistance fighters spurring escapes and break-outs. It's epic film-making with fine production values throughout and intelligent scripting which weaves together various sub-plots and characters into a satisfying mix. There's action, emotion, tragedy and careful character work, all of it handled deftly by an experienced cast and a director who knows exactly what works. Things build to the kind of rousing climax that delivers everything you want, and more.
