On 31 January 1968, 31 North Korean commandos infiltrated South Korea in a failed mission to assassinate President Park Chung-hee. In revenge, the South Korean military assembled a team of 31 criminals on the island of Silmido to kill Kim Il-sung for a suicide mission to redeem their honor, but was cancelled, leaving them frustrated. It is loosely based on a military uprising in the 1970s.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A raw, visceral account of desperate men weaponized and discarded by their own military, watching their promised redemption dissolve into abandonment and rage. It's a portrait of institutional betrayal told through the ordeal of expendable soldiers.
