Escape from Mogadishu

it's high time someone educated these Koreans fr. this stereotype nonsense is exhausting, making this film without considering the reality of the matters and painting Mogadishu in plain black and white is abominable idk why they can't see Africa with the real light if they can't do it then they should leave it alone

It's so sad to see from just like that example that so many people are separated into two due to of few people's interest and power. Remember other movie about two koreans, many people couldn't meet families or relatives before their deaths. People who left last to meet are dead now.

It's a great movie that's getting more and more exciting... Congratulations to everyone involved in the movie... You should definitely watch this amazing movie that gives a message to the whole world.

Imagine capitalizing on the tragedy and trauma of the Somali people while disrespectfully stereotyping and misrepresenting them. The Somali civil war was catastrophic for the nation and the people, this movie turns them into an inaccurate caricature while it simultaneously sidelines them and disrespectfully focuses on the "two Koreas overcoming their differences to escape the city", that is, their enjoyment and success above the real demise of the Somali people which is the whole damn premise and context the film based on. The actors didn't even speak Somali. We're in 2021, it's negligent to not do a little research about the country and culture you're whose image you're going to destroy some more. It's as if someone were to make a movie about the Korea war but instead uses Filipino actors, Indian music, and then the Chinese language. One scene that was really silly was when a supposed "local" was speaking Korean to a Korean lady, and she spoke back to him in broken English. What was the point of that scene? There are so many other parts like this that make it a terrible and waste of time movie. People need to stop profiting off of the Somali peoples trauma while misrepresenting their story.

It was entertaining, and I got to learn a little bit about history as well. While it was predictable in parts, I still enjoyed the chase scenes and the drama. The acting and music was pretty well done. Turns out, the movie was filmed in Morocco, and not in Somalia, for obvious reasons. So, they had to create an elaborate set and making a movie of this scale, with these many people involved must not have been easy. The only gripe I have is the that moviemakers seriously need to rethink how they use "Bullets flying everywhere" part. It's 2021! 10s of people firing 100s of bullets out in the open and the bad guys really THAT incompetent? This plot convenience makes me roll my eyes every time, but oh well. Overall, the story is about humanity and how we must put our differences aside and help each other out. It's nothing mind-blowing, but it's worth your 2 hours if you can look past the bullets flying everywhere. Easier said than done, as the movie shows. If you enjoyed movies like Argo, you might want to watch this one. This movie is South Korea's entry for the Best International Picture at the Oscars 2022. - Not sure if it'll make it to the shortlist, but lets see.

Felt like I was in the movie next to the actors. Best camera work I've seen in a while. This film lets you experience the movie! I always love director Ryu color in his every work.
