MUSA [2001]

The word "epic" has been thrown around so much it means almost nothing these days. Fortunately, South Korea's Musa can grasp onto that word and mean business.
It's raw, brutal, vast in the historical story it covers, beautifully shot, gives you more than enough to think about and tells the story of heroism, vengeance and love like it really means it.
Clocking in at over 2+ hours, not a second is wasted, making note of the superb, yet understated performances, the well-choreographed battle scenes, the costumes and the scenery.
Highly recommended for those interested in seeing what a real epic film is.
