Release Date: 09/09/2008 Run time: 90 minutes Rating: RThe most kaleidoscopic crime thriller you'll ever see. Nowhere to Hide is about a team of cops tracking do! wn a murderous drug lord--but the plot is the only ordinary th! ing abou t the movie. Nowhere to Hide uses just about every visual trick imaginable: slow motion, rapid-fire editing, different film textures (from gritty black and white to luminous color), freeze-frames, as well as techniques that have only become possible with computers and that are impossible to describe. But the movie has more than visual razzle-dazzle: scenes go off in bizarre directions, the tone shifts radically from hyperviolence to total sentimentality (in one scene, the loose-cannon detective is brutally beating a handcuffed prisoner; moments later, he's as happy as a little boy when his sister gives him a pair of gloves), the characters are outrageously melodramatic. The soundtrack shares this amazing cinematic schizophrenia, featuring light pop songs, shrieking heavy metal, moody Spanish guitar, and soaring classical. The overall effect is dizzying, disorienting, but at the same time giddy and exciting. The closest American equivalent is Charlie's Angels; t! hese are movies that have moved beyond story logic and character development into sheer sensory enjoyment; movies that push action-movie techniques to the point of becoming almost avant-garde, some insane hybrid of John Woo and Jean-Luc Godard. Not to be missed. --Bret Fetzer Han Kiju, a pulp fiction writer, needs to write a new best seller every month for his publishing house. Still reeling from his youth experience as a volunteer infantryman in the South Korean Army's highly decorated White Horse Division, which fought alongside American troops in Vietnam, Han suffers a textbook case of Vietnam syndrome. The burdens of guilt and alienation make his private life barren and constantly sabotages his career and marriage.

Using flashbacks to the combat fields of Vietnam the film depicts, in a graphic way, how Han and his frontline infantry experienced the war uniquely as Asians yet felt the same nightmare of fear and meaningless sacrifice as their American counte! rparts.

While Sgt. Han's platoon is being decimated by ! an unsee n Viet Cong enemy during a long range reconnaissance mission behind enemy lines, one of his fellow soldiers slips into insanity causing untold carnage and death. A reunion with this man forces Han to confront the past and the most painful events of his life.
