Synopsis
At first glance, it seems like an ordinary sports movie based on Kendo. Jae-woo, who joins the national team selection process, is treated as a soon-to-be eliminated player from the first day. However, "IRON MASK" does not simply follow the typical sports movie formula. It sets the tension high early on, by showcasing an intense confrontation between Jae-woo and the unbeatable top-ranked player, Tae-soo. From there, it gradually reveals why Jae-woo is there, peeling away the layers of his story like an onion. Thus, the film expands beyond being just a sports movie and veers into sharp psychological drama. The sharpness of Jae-woo's emotions is vividly reflected in his Kendo, while also representing the challenges he must unravel in his life. The ending is quite thought-provoking. The captivating cinematography exudes the excitement of Kendo matches in an electrifying way, making "IRON MASK" worthy of note. Rhana JANG
