S. Korean officer commanding a hill that has been lost and retaken dozens of times is killed by "friendly fire." A lieutenant in trouble w/his superior for insubordination is sent on what may well be a suicide mission--- find out if there is a traitor or spy responsible and terminate him.
This 2011 film is a psychological examination of what long-term battle pressures do to men, and also a questioning look at that civil war in particular, and perhaps war, in general do.
The performances are good, cinematography competent--- but, it's the ideas that will stay with you.

It is nice to see the Koreans tackle a serious subject, for a change... most of the time their films are like a $20 prostitute at the truck stop - quick to satisfy a particular want, but not more than that.

    I watch Downton for the sense of intellectual superiority - those characters are so uplifting!
