My Boss, My Hero
I really enjoyed this film. It's about a gangster Doo-sik, who's boss commands him to get a high school diploma., like the other gangsters at his level. He is in his 30's, but looks like he's in his 20's, so they enroll him as a 20 year old. So he can get his diploma, he puts up with the school bullies (for awhile). The school is run by a corrupt principle, who works for Doo-sik's rival gang. You can see where the rest is going. Don't want to give anymore away. This movie has good acting, it's funny (laughed out loud a few times), some good action scenes, and good directing. I give this a 8/10

. I really enjoyed this movie as a whole, and would suggest it to anyone. The Limited Edition 2 Discs set with the OST is nice too. I didn't get a chance to check out the extras. One thing though, the menu is not in English at all, so it just takes a little trial and error to get around.

Sorry, I'm not very good at reviews. Here is another more extensive review from asiandb.com.

Hmm... maybe I'll have to pick this up. Sounds kinda like some Stephen Chow flick or maybe My Schoolmate the Barbarian or something. I'm hoping Volcano High comes out soon (whether it sucks or not)... I wanna see it.
