The Good, the Bad, the Weird Movie Review

I decided to watch this movie because it was in the top, must see Korean movies, plus the trailer looked interesting...and my favorite actors are in it lol.
This movie stars Lee Byung Hun(Bad), Song Kang-ho(Weird) and Jung Woo Sung(Good) in this Western inspired by 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly'.
Plot: Everyone is after this treasure map hunted by everyone. The bad guy is a hit man and a bandit who is infamous throughout the land, but the weird man is better in terms of skill who steals the map from the bad guy. And the good guy is a bounty hunter who is after the bad guy but he teams up with the weird guy for the treasure map.
Acting: AMAZING, you have two of my favorite Korean actors together, so of course the acting is phenomenal!
Plot wise, this wasn't very good because it's just centered around looking for treasure which is typical in Westerns. Also, you only get one glimpse into Lee Byung Hun's character, nothing about Woo Sung's character, and a big reversal is revealed at the end about Kang-ho's character. What makes this movie good is the ACTION, it was awesome!! It had comedy too but that's thanks to Kang-ho's character.
Great acting, great action sequences, but that's it. 
Would I recommend this? Only if you're into action and seeing a brief glimpse of Lee Byung Hun's sexy body hahaha. I watched this because all of these actors are famous in South Korea so it was highly anticipated. Also the cinematography is good too.So, if you're into action, watch it or if you want to see good actors watch it.
