The film was directed by "Han-min Kim", previously responsible for the offbeat mystery “Paradise Murdered (2007)” and fast-paced thriller "Handphone (2009)".,

Being a fan of Korean Director "Han-min Kim" third movie... “War of the Arrows” (also known as “Arrow, the Ultimate Weapon”) is a period set Korean blockbuster revolving around battling archers and the 17th century second Manchu invasion of Korea. and attempts to offer something a little different to the usual historical epics by notching up the tension and aiming for more of a focus on action.

Its look like Sniper movie instead of Bullet...Use Arrows!!!

Korean writer-director Park Chan-wook is a man of extremes: extreme camera angles, extreme lighting contrast, extreme long shots, extreme color schemes, extreme bursts of sound.,

A deaf-mute resorts to drastic measures to help his ill sister get a kidney transplant, and things spin terribly out of control when the initial plans don't go as intended.
