Movie: The Show Must Go On (15)
Rating: 5/5
Being a Song Kang-ho fan, I wanted to see this film but I was afraid I won't get to see it because it's an old film. But surprisingly I found the film in the highest quality and shifted the timing of subtitles to match the dialogues. I watched it and I can say that THE SHOW MUST GO ON is the best gangster film ever, largely because of its light-hearted take on the genre.
Song Kang-ho is excellent as usual. His performance is an excellent one, and the best of him comes out in the climax. Oh Dal-su provides occasional comic relief, as does Song Kang-ho. Other actors are also good, and deliver good performances.
The director and writer both deserve a great amount of praise for mixing action, comedy and emotions very well. There's not a single scene I didn't like. I loved every single scene of the film and found it very refreshing, as not most of the films of this genre are as good as this.
The comedy is natural and hilarious. The action sequences are good. The emotions are very well portrayed and have a lot of depth. The entire screenplay is excellent, as is the editing. The film doesn't bore for even a single second, and I fully enjoyed it.
Many films will come and go, but this film will always remain great. THE SHOW MUST GO ON IS the best gangster action-comedy drama which entertains thoroughly and makes sure you leave the seat both with tears and a smile, as the climax is wonderfully executed. It's an enjoyable family entertainer that has a repeat value.
