Flawed but very watchable - The Tiger review by TE
Full of awesome views of the snowbound forests and mountains of South Korea, the cinematography being the best thing about this sprawling epic of Man against Nature.
A good editing job would have helped in making the narrative flow more smoothly. There are a few too many scenes of a CGI tiger wreaking unrealistic havoc on vast numbers of Japanese soldiers and hunters. There is patriotic pride in the come uppance served on the invading Japanese army.
Ultimately it is as if the director could not decide between a story of human endeavour and a mythological thriller. The mixture of the two genres doesn't work quite well enough.
