I would heartily recommend the stirring Korean war film Roaring Currents depicting the heroic stand of master strategist Admiral Yi Sun-sin and his 13 battleships that opposed the Japanese enemy's fleet of 133+, and win the most incredible of naval victories.The film is pared back and to the point, wasting little space and time outside of telling the tale of the Battle of Myeongnyang, with a great portion of the film focussing on the action. The CGI is well done and the battle sequences stirringly effective. There is a quiet charisma to the central performance which gives the film the anchor needed. The sinister Japanese pirate king was a touch pantomime but made for a genuinely menacing villain.
Another victory for Amazon Prime, through which I seem to be watching a lot of my TV at the moment.
It's probably time for another viewing of Red Cliffs...
