The Good, the Bad, the Weird

The Good, the Bad, the Weird

One map. Three villains. Winner takes all.

2008130 min7.2 / 10

A kinetic, visually stylish action-comedy that remixes the Western genre through a Korean lens, prioritizing spectacle and irreverent humor over depth or emotional stakes.

The story of three Korean outlaws in 1930s Manchuria and their dealings with the Japanese army and Chinese and Russian bandits. The Good (a bounty hunter), the Bad (a hitman), and the Weird (a thief) battle the army and the bandits in a race to use a treasure map to uncover the riches of legend.
