So bloated that it's forever on the verge of bursting – a sentiment reflected by the film's overindulgence in ear-splitting pyrotechnics.

Jun-Shik and Tatsuo, boyhood rivals in Japan-colonized Korea, grow up during the tumultuous backdrop of World War II. Alternatively conscripted into the Japanese Imperial Army, the Red Army, and the German military, the pair's rapidly changing fates transform their understanding of rivalry, loyalty, friendship, and destiny.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
The paeans about national pride and brotherhood may be regional, but constant slow-motion battle scenes and squishy sentimentality are strictly wanna-be Tinseltown.
Los Angeles Times by Robert Abele
The nonstop adversity lacks any real sense of danger. Or, for that matter, emotional punch. Why these two long-distance runners keep each other alive should be of front-and-center concern. Instead, My Way is mostly an endurance test.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) by Stephen Cole
Adolescent boys will savour My Way's bombast and solemnity. Cringing adult audiences will more likely beat a retreat before final call.
My Way is not, as the title might suggest, a Frank Sinatra biopic. No, it's an eye-popping, empty-headed World War II epic made in South Korea.
