I'm not sure why the ratings aren't better. It's intense and fun, with great characters. Ma Dong-seok is incredibly like-able. Though dark, highly recommend for an enjoyable thriller.

The Great Silence
(1968)
"Renown" for giving the finger to the audience.

Warning: Spoilers
In real life true villains often win or go unpunished which is why we love watching movies where the heroes prevail. This movie is "renown" for playing against the hope we feel in watching heroes rise. If this were based on a real life story then so be it but it's not so they chose to be mean spirited which is not for me.
The Unforgiven
(1960)
Decent western drama

Definitely worth a watch. Fairly one-toned but solid performances by the cast and a compelling story. Not a usual "western" hence western drama. I think the 6.7 rating here is a bit low. Hepburn is delightful and Burt is great as usual. Some great shots as well.
Wild Rovers
(1971)
Feels like a misfire of a book adaptation

It seems like it could have been great but fails at just about every turn, unfortunatly. Likeable characters with all their actions unfolding logically and leading to dilemmas but for whatever reason the movie is rather boring and a bit over sentimental at times. It seems like the script was prob great but lost in the execution of production.
