Set in Japanese-occupied Korea of the 1920s, Song Kang-ho plays a Korean police captain in the Japanese police force with a special mission: infiltrate and deceive the armed resistance fighting for independence, lead by the charismatic Kim Woo-jin (Yoo Gong). With both men standing on opposing sides, each knowing the identity and intentions of the other, a cat-and-mouse game ensues - one in which not everyone will make it out alive. Also starring Byung-hun Lee and Ji-min Han, this is a blistering spectacle from a master filmmaker at the top of his game. Review: Another great Korean movie - Korea resistance against Japanese occupation. Ok, a good historical action movie. But what stands out it the quality of the direction, the attention to detail in almost every scene, humanity that transpires in the way the actors play their roles. Despite being spectacular and entertaining that's not the main quality of this movie. There is like an added value, sometimes aesthetic, sometimes simply human values and attitudes. Probably what stands out is the ability of trying and depicting the personalities of those who are supposed to be the heroes of the movie. Especially the main character (let's call it like that, as it will become clear at the end of the film) floats between trying to survive working for the occupants and in the end helping the resistance, helping his people and fighting for them. You are never sure what he is going to do, fight for his country or save his own ass, but everything is depicted (it seems to me) without rhetoric, so that in the end we see a man trying to do what he thinks it's right and not a hero who doesn't know what fear is and never has doubts. This kind of adherence to reality, so to say, is something I found more than a single Korean film, and one of qualities that makes me look for more of them. Review: Very well made and acted with a good period feel - A lavishly presented film about resistance fighters in Japanese occupied Korea during the 1920s. Very well made and acted with a good period feel ,the narrative pace was maintained but never frantic and although it was a long film it held my attention throughout. There were some action/fight scenes which were good and didn`t stretch credibility too far which can be a minor flaw in some Korean cinema. I enjoyed this film and would recommend it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Choi Jeong-hwa, Foster Burden, Han Ji-min, Hee-soon Park, Kim Jee-Woon, Kim Ji-yong, Lee Byung-hun, Shin Sung-rok, Shingo Tsurumi, Song Kang-ho, Yoo Gong Contributor Choi Jeong-hwa, Foster Burden, Han Ji-min, Hee-soon Park, Kim Jee-Woon, Kim Ji-yong, Lee Byung-hun, Shin Sung-rok, Shingo Tsurumi, Song Kang-ho, Yoo Gong See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 304 Reviews | | Format | Blu-ray | | Genre | Mystery & Thrillers | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05060238032360 | | Language | English, Japanese, Korean | | Manufacturer | Thunderbird Releasing | | Number of discs | 1 | | Runtime | 2 hours and 21 minutes | ## Images ![The Age of Shadows - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810Ujv9jM1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another great Korean movie *by P***O on 2 January 2021* Korea resistance against Japanese occupation.

Very well made and acted with a good period feel ,the narrative pace was maintained but never frantic and although it was a long film it held my attention throughout. There were some action/fight scenes which were good and didn`t stretch credibility too far which can be a minor flaw in some Korean cinema. I enjoyed this film and would recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just misses the mark somehow.... *by R***L on 5 February 2018* I love Kim Jee-woon as he directed The Good, The Bad and The Weird, one of my first and favourite Korean movies, and A Bitter Sweet Life which is just brilliant. I found A Tale of Two Sisters interesting, and I Saw the Devil profoundly disturbing. This one The Age of Shadows is a tremendously well produced, acted, and directed piece of film making, but I really struggled to get into it. The story at first appears complex but actually turns out to be pretty straightforward, there are some impressive set pieces, but the film as a whole just failed to engage me and although nominated for various awards I would venture is not one of Mr Kim's stand-outs in the way the other aforementioned films were. Worth a watch to appreciate a craftsman at work, but ultimately not completely satisfying. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/51974619-the-age-of-shadows](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/51974619-the-age-of-shadows) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-08-19*
