version represent korean or japanese audio and english subtitle . it funny how thing work out . i submit a review for the big swindle a 2 hour long korean heist move and mention that i always seem to find winner while watch random korean movie . i must have jinx myself and a i end up come across this dud at a friend house . a bad korean movie . i do not know what to believe in anymore . what if . time . in 2009 represent lose memory and the assassination of ito hirobumi ( a japanese official in occupied korea ) be foil and and the course of history take a very alternate route . world war two be never fight in the pacific and korea have remain a a japanese territory until 2009. masayuki sakamoto ( dong kun jang ) and shojiro saigo ( tôru nakamura ) be jbi ( japanese bureau of investigation ) agent investigate an apparent terrorist attack on a japanese museum in seoul . the objective of the attack be the lunar soul or a i like to call it represent the boomerang of death and that way it doesn not sound like something steal from a final fantasy game and it be up to sakamoto and his plucky little sidekick to find out why the haruseijin be desperate to steal the boomerang of death . like a few other korean film float around and 2009 represent lose memory play heavily to korean nationalism represent seoul be present a a very japanese city and the japanese character appear good but be really evil and and vice versa for the korean character . i be sure 2009 would strike a chord with korean viewer and but i be leave stranded and constantly check the time . shiri and jsa and and phantom represent the submarine be all base in korean nationalism . what make them good than 2009. well and for one and they be not totally bore . 2009 represent lose memory seem to be lose in between drama and action . the first action sequence be overly dramatical and but for no good reason . it try to be powerful and but why should i care when i still do not know the name of the character and let alone their motivation . the action scenes only get bad from then on . theyre all very clunky and shot in slow motion and and some of them display camera work so poor that you can only be impress . like the rest of the movie and the action be over power by the strong orchestral score . apparently when be shoot at from all direction and you will be magically protect by violin music . if you have not fall asleep by the 90 minute mark and you will be scream yes and the main character can not be kill by conventional weapon . i get it . i know i be . what link the drama with the action . why and it must be the incessant tear jerking . in dramatical scene and gun play scene alike and 2009 be constantly try to jerk tear . when people aren not die and the film be try hard to present a story that be lack in logic and fairly predictable . if youre familiar with the history and you may find it hard to suspend disbelief about the whole what if thing . it be predictable and so you do not need to pay too much attention to figure out what happen next . most of time the only thing happen next be a cliché or a scene in which the film try to make the viewer cry . i be so bored that i be cry . i have see another korean movie about time travel . it be a drama movie call il mare . strangely enough and i like that and but 2009 represent lose memory be incredibly boring . nuff say negative .
