Though it bogs down at times, Yoon Jong-bin's kimchi Western is a rousing, lavishly produced delight.

Richard Kuipers, Variety
Rotten

For all its gloss, "Kundo" fails to resonate. You appreciate the execution, but the film is hindered by its lack of novelty and metaphorical weight.

Andy Webster, New York Times

[A] sweeping, visually elegant picture ...

Soren Anderson, Seattle Times

An often entertaining if overlong look at the last days of Korea's Joseon Dynasty.

Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

Kundo is not the best film of its type, but it's an entertaining amalgam.
