Escape From Mogadishu | Blu-ray (Well Go USA)
RELEASE DATE: January 18, 2022
On January 18, 2021, Well Go USA is releasing the Blu-ray & DVD for Escape From Mogadishu (read our review), the latest from action director Ryoo Seung-wan (Veteran, Battleship Island).
The film stars Kim Yoon-seok (Chaser, The Yellow Sea), Zo In-Sung (The Great Battle), Heo Jun-Ho (Illang: The Wolf Brigade) and Jeong Man-Sik (The Swordsman).
Dramatically constructed based on actual events: when civil war explodes in 1991 between rebel factions and Somali government forces under dictator Mohamed Siad Barre, rival North and South Korean diplomats are trapped in the capital city, surrounded on all sides by what would emerge as some of the deadliest fighting of the conflict. With no aid from either Korean government—and no means of communicating with the outside world—the diplomats’ only shot at survival may require uniting with bitter adversaries to escape.

Ryoo has really been branching out from his usual genres, and it works well. I did see No Escape, and it was pretty good. I hope this is similar.
