The Age of Shadows 15

Korea has long been the home of some of the most electrifying cinema and this latest offering from The Good, the Bad, the Weird director Kim Jee-woon is no exception. Set in 1920s Korea - when the country was under Japanese occupation - The Age of Shadows is a slick espionage thriller about a Korean captain, Lee Jung-chool (Song Kang-ho: incredible as ever) working for the Japanese police who is tasked with the job of infiltrating a group of resistance fighters.

An exhilarating mix of noir, historical drama and spectacular action sequences, with one of the most extraordinary train scenes in the history of cinema.
