I'm sure there's a reason why the poster looks somewhat like a Korean flag, but I can't understand why. Without a trailer to go off of, it's impossible to know how comparable the poster is, but on its own, there's hardly anything appealing here.
Nearly a month after the poster first appeared, we finally have a trailer and its opening regarding Will Ferrell's discovery of the film does not give it points in my book. Matter of fact, much of what's contained herein seems mean-spirited and what appeared to be a documentary at first now appears to be little more than a lame American dojo comedy.
Again, without knowledge of the subject, I don't see this as being an Oscar contender, even the title suggests it wouldn't be. 5/25 Note: This isn't an Oscar contender in the least of the word.
I have not seen this film.
