Operation Chromite (2016) -- South Korean War Movie starring Liam Neeson




Trailer:



Korean Trailer:



General Douglas MacArthur (Liam Neeson) of the U.S. Army and 8 South Korean troop members led by a South Korean Navy Lieutenant (Lee Jung-Jae) carry out the covert "X-ray" operation. The "X-ray" operation must succeed in order to carry out "Incheon Landing Operation."

Anyone heard of this war movie with Liam Neeson that came out last summer? Apparently it was the 1st South Korean movie with an Hollywood actor since Snow Piercer and is considered a blockbuster film for their market even though it was made for only $12M.

It had a very limited release here in the States in August, but looks like it's coming to BD in January.

Trailer looks interesting.

Neeson seems like pretty good casting for an older MacArthur.

What a disappointment, I thought Liam Neeson would be playing a Korean.

I've heard it isn't so great. But yeah, it made $48m USD in S. Korea which is a pretty good haul over there (their #1 grossing local movie of the year was Train to Busan which made $85m usd, The Handmaiden made about $32m)

I don't get this.

He's playing Douglas MacArthur.

Unless your talking about Western actors in foreign films.

There's plenty of Asian films with Western actors and it's been around for decades. Look at HK cinema for example.
