As a film about the political intricacies of the Korean war, it's an utter failure but as a boys' own adventure romp, full of gunfire and explosions, it just about passes muster.December 19, 2016
Unrelenting from the offset, Operation Chromite offers a pure sense of entertainment, but lacks heavily on the emotional front, and that's not for the want of trying, as profundity is vied for, and yet is hard to adhere to.December 23, 2016
Operation Chromite so bad it's almost spellbinding.December 20, 2016
A mix of gung-ho action and heavy-handed patriotic pride, the point of South Korean war film Operation Chromite may be somewhat lost in translation for western audiences.August 10, 2016

Entertaining in its own way, though probably not in the way intended.August 11, 2016
The actual Operation Chromite was a surprise. In the movie version, you can hear everything coming from miles away.August 11, 2016
Exciting if occasionally awkward ...
