Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
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.
[A] sweeping, visually elegant picture ...
An often entertaining if overlong look at the last days of Korea's Joseon Dynasty.
Kundo is not the best film of its type, but it's an entertaining amalgam.
