 subway cinema | in conversation with lee myung-se
In terms of style and genre, you could call it a "noir" film because it is about police and criminals, and much of it occurs at night, with a certain type of lighting.
This is also a film about movement and kinetic energy, and the original and primitive nature of the human being.
But as it is, Inchon is a port city where a lot of drug smuggling takes place, and Inchon has a cityscape with strong noir elements.

Cmiral is a Czech composer who has been scoring films for a decade, and writing for the theatre since he was 18, debuting with stage production of Cyrano de Bergerac.
One could hardly fail to notice, as much of the film, which astonishingly survived, proved an earthy battlefield between the director's set-pieces and Cmiral's drum-and-bass 'inspired' score.
It may be functional in the film, but on disc it offers nothing you haven't heard many times before, and usually in ways which are far better executed.

 Inchon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
In the summer of 2001, PEARL HARBOR was denounced as one of the most insipid war films ever made.
Of course, the film is as unapologetically anti-North Korean as any old WWII flick was anti-Nazi, as the vile Commies slaughter innocent women and children by the dozen.
The actors are surprisingly earnest in the face of such hokum, and most of the cast was paid in cash, since the budget was funneled through Moon's Unification Church (still, few admit to ever knowing that the project was directly connected to this self-confessed "messiah").

Inchon was still available 15 hours after it was listed, so this one isn't quite yet safe (although I doubt this one will be gone by the end of today).

As far as I can remember (I saw the film five or six years ago) there was maybe five minutes of Delerue's score retained for "Pick Up Artist," so it's good they're getting the rest of it out there...it's essentially a rejected score.

 Take Care of My Cat (2002): CAST - PopMatters Film Review
The need to move on eventually dominates all of their decisions, including the choice of homes for Ti-ti, the beloved titular cat who has, by the film's end, lived with each girl.
The film, however, is not wholly "realistic," as the girls' communication methods are, in a way, "anti-real." When the girls type text messages to each other on their cell phones, floating text appears in bus windows or on building walls, imbuing their environments with traces of impersonal technology, both chilling and beautiful.
Intimate messages, like Tae-hee's concern for Ji-young's well-being, are reduced to electronic code; the cell phone, which supposedly keeps us more in touch with each other, here enhances distance between the girls by replacing face to face communication with sterile text.

The Film was panned by Critics unanimously from the very beginning!
Parade Magazine wrote: "the biggest loser at the box office in America was Inchon, produced by the Rev. Sung Myung Moon's Unification Church and starring the late Laurence Olivier, who didn't know what the film was all about except that he was being paid $1 million to play Gen. Douglas MacArthur."
It was the multitudes of followers, working street corners hawking candy, and the higher ranks, running the Industrial Factories, and the other Business Enterprises that keep Moon flush with cash, that were funding everything.

There's a carefully researched police procedural underpinning Lee's breakthrough movie (a huge success at home and widely sold abroad), but its tone, texture and rhythms could not be less naturalistic.
Druglord Sungmin (Ahn playing a villain for once) kills a rival on the Forty Steps in Inchon, sparking a dogged manhunt led by the violent and scrofulous Detective Woo (Park at his best ever).
Even without the odd discreet touches of CGI embellishment, Lee's work on the images is original enough to confirm that he's a world class talent.

 Failed $48 Million Movie Inchon, Backed by Moon Organization
In 1982, a 48 million dollar movie called INCHON (MGM/UA) was made as a tribute to the place General Douglas McArthur and his 1950 amphibious operation landed to outflank the North Korean invaders.
The movie was called the most expensive film ever made (up till then) and interestingly received very poor reviews at the box office.
The INCHON film appeared to be an attempt to use Hollywood to refresh the American public of their commitment of blood and sacrifice to South Korea.
