Typhoon Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
After a garbled opening this South Korean flick eventually develops into a pleasantly bombastic Bond-style adventure.
DVDTalk.com
David Cornelius
Typhoon is a goofy mess, plenty exhilarating in all the right spots, except for the character ones.
Variety
Derek Elley
Caught up in a triple vortex of poor scripting, unexciting action and leads you couldn't care less about, the pic boasts good production values but little else.
New York Times
Laura Kern
Typhoon aims high but misses the emotional mark in most instances, resulting in some awkward melodramatics.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Director Kyung-Taek Kwak orchestrates all this with flair, but leading man Lee doesn't have much to offer beyond a steely stoicism, and Jang's histrionic villainy borders on the parodic.
Film Journal International
Chris Barsanti
A muscular Korean thriller that hearkens back to the monolithic Hollywood blockbusters of a decade or so ago-but not in a good way.
Los Angeles CityBeat
Andy Klein
[Jang Dong-gun]...is the main attraction, which almost compensates for the film's problems.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
It has a fair sense of documentary reality, and the action sequences -- from shootout to car chase to a commando takedown of a tanker on the high seas to a final knife fight -- are extremely well managed.
San Diego Union-Tribune
David Elliott
[A] jamboree of Cold War emotion and ham-on-a-spit acting.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
The action comes fast and thick, and the sentimentality reaches near-operatic proportions.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
In Typhoon, there are plenty of guns being fired in front of the camera, but behind it [director] Kwak apparently had his safety catch in place.
Reel.com
Timothy Knight
A testosterone-driven, Jerry Bruckheimer-style action film as overblown as its title suggests.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Typhoon is an assembly-line thriller from South Korea that just as well could have been made in Hollywood.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
An exhausting combination of generic thriller, political tract and sentimental weepie.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Ambitious and impressive, both in its provocative themes and superb production design using striking sets and locations in Korea, Russia and Thailand, this handsome epic amply rewards audiences willing to go the distance.
Los Angeles Daily News
Bob Strauss
Kwak Kyung-taek's overwrought melodrama isn't nearly as artful -- nor as disturbing -- as many of South Korea's other entries in the apparently inexhaustible revenge genre.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
A reasonably entertaining, very Korean take on the kind of stuff Jerry Bruckheimer produces by reflex -- and that's in no way an insult to either Bruckheimer or Typhoon.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
It loses its sense of political urgency by relying on melodramatic clichs (the bad guy has a dying sister) and rhythms that are all too familiar from the big-budget American films it sets out to emulate.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
The director's hokey melodrama and derivative action, when coupled with his inability to create any synergy between form and content, ultimately turns Typhoon into an insipid drag.
