Trivia
The American troops seen in the film are from the 25th Infantry Division "Tropic Lightning." This is evidenced by the distinctive unit insignia worn on the soldiers' left shoulders, in that of a strawberry-like taro leaf with a bolt of lightning in the center. See more »Goofs
There seems to be a lull in the battle as Jung-beom and Kap-jo talk together on how Kap-jo is proud to be here. Kap-jo also seems to recover from being shot in the leg as he had driven the truck in. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

As I know little about the Korean War apart from MASH I didn't really know what to expect. I was very impressed and surprised at how good 71 is. The true story of the 71 students who defended their line for 11 hours against the might of the communist North is told with passion, humor, and action. It is somewhat clichéd - but this works in its favor - what we get is a Braveheart feeling for a small but very well-made war film.
The two main leads are competent, if a little OTT in their roles, but again by the end this pays off and I really have no complaints - if moving, and exciting war films are your thing then this is definitely worth viewing.
