When an illegal Chinese immigrant infected with a deadly H5N1 variant arrives in South Korea, officials quickly lose control of the situation. As the death toll reaches hundreds of thousands, it becomes clear that the world's supply of yellow people is under serious threat.Can South Korea contain the infection, or will it spread to the other yellow people nations? How can the West sustain its economic model if we run out of yellow people to make stuff? Can the yellow people save themselves, or will the West need to intervene? With the virus now airborne, how many normal people will need to be sacrificed in our efforts to save the yellow people?These and other vital questions are tackled with unflinching realism in this gripping thriller!I rate Gamgi at 23.31 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as a surprisingly decent 7/10 on IMDb.

I know some people who simply will not watched a movie with subtitles. Personally I barely notice them as I've one of those Star Trek implants, well maybe I don't however I can get very engrossed in a movie with subtitles and Flu managed that. This is very much a Korean version of Outbreak or Contagion, it has some stereotypical Korean characteristics, humour, drama, the textbook Asian emotive expressions - there's always some guy in a suit with a straight face raising his deep voice in a very controller manner to show he is serious - and honourable. Anyway I digress despite having a few ludicrous plot turns the Flu is a Korean epic executed with such great gusto, and done quite well, that you can't help but be pulled into it's South Korean Independence Day minus the aliens feel. It's popcorn all the way and the show is completely stolen by an actress who's not even listed here who played 4 year old Mirre; you're a stone cold killer if you have dry eyes at a certain point. Pleasant surprise epic disaster type movie.

Flu is a good movie or actually you can say great movie created by the Korean.I am not a native speaker; I even don't know Korean language at all. I watched whole movie with subtitle ON to understand it but though I am not a native speaker so I can't say much about acting of the actors. Actually if you saying about the acting I actually like the work done by the little girl in this movie, she had done a great work and others actors acting I don't like it that much it is so-so performance on the movie. Other than acting I would say everything is great story is good, direction is good. Story of the movie start with car accident where actress of the stuck and hero of the film save after that the main movie start when container full of people are transported from the Indonesia and container come with dead people those people are dead because of flu except one guy who spread the flu and flu start spreading all over the city and after that they show on the movie how they stop the flu. In end of the movie little dramatic or no need of those scene actually which makes the movie kind of boring rather than that whole movie is awesome

I have always enjoyed Asian movies, and Korea really do manage to release some really impressive titles from time to time. I hadn't really expected anything in particular from "The Flu" ("Gamgi"), and I was blown away by the intensity and gripping storyline that director Sung-su Kim managed to present here.Where as "Outbreak" from 1995 was great and the more recent "Contagion" from 2011 failed to impress, then "The Flu" steps right up here and proves that Korea can be a force to be reckoned with in terms of pandemic and epidemic outbreak movies. And in my honest opinion, then "The Flu" surpassed "Outbreak" by far and turned out to be a much more enjoyable movie altogether.The story starts off in Hong Kong where a group of people are illegally transported to Korea hidden in a container. Amidst the hopeful illegal immigrants is a sick individual. Upon arrival in Korea and when the container is opened, a ghastly discovery is made as the people inside are all dead. A new and high contagious and deadly virus manages to spread like a wildfire quickly bringing a whole city to its knees, forcing the Korean government to isolate and quarantine the population. Unable to find a cure to this deadly illness, time is running out and tensions within the quarantine zone are running high.Actually there are many more layers to the storyline, but that is as an overall whole the outline of the main storyline. This is not only a movie about a pandemic outbreak, but also about the crisis of such an outbreak on governmental level, citizen level and family level. And it works out so nicely, because the directed really is skilled at what he is doing.The movie is running high on tension and drama, which is quite nice, and it helps the movie to keep a great pace and you get attached to the characters in the movie and want to see what happens next.A movie is nothing without a good cast, and "The Flu" really had some nice talents on the cast list. Soo Ae (playing Kim In-hae, mother of Kim Mi-reu) really filled out her role amazingly and put on a rather impressive performance. And right up there alongside her was Hyuk Jang (playing rescue worker Kang Ji-koo) with an equally convincing performance. And they had really great on-screen chemistry. However, I was especially impressed with young Min-ah Park's (playing Kim Mi-reu) performance, for a child actress, then she was amazing in her role.There is a sense of grand scale on the movie, as you do buy into the seriousness of this outbreak that brings an entire city to its knees and threatens to sweep out to the rest of Korea. And there are many outdoors scenes in the city that really help add to this. And I will say that the camera-work and cinematography in "The Flu" was right on all throughout the movie."The Flu" is the type of movie that you have to watch, regardless of whether or not you like Korean movies or movies of this particular genre. It is altogether a great and high entertaining movie.
