Entertainment Reviews:
The history of this camp is actually true... I just wish somebody made a better movie about it.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
By the end, fancifully snappy dance numbers vie with grisly bullet ballet for top setpiece honors: Kang stages both with aplomb, leaving audiences caught between crying and cheering.

Rating: 4.5/5 --
Combining the harshness of war with the exuberance of dance seems like mixing oil and water, yet ... [Swing Kids] is all at once powerfully evocative, undeniably charming, and completely heartbreaking.

Rating: 2/5 --
An ill-fitting hodgepodge of half-baked ideas and unrealised potential.

South China Morning Post
The plot's light and dark elements... start clashing halfway through this overlong feature and never resolve.

Rating: 3/5 --
"Swing Kids" is such a dizzying, anachronistic mash-up of genres and cultures -- tap-dancing musical, violent war movie, social-justice drama, and slapstick comedy -- that it deserves respect, even if it falls short as it strains to cover all these bases.

Houston Chronicle
Though a bit longer than necessary, the movie tells an engaging, enjoyable story, peppered with impressive dance numbers.

Product Description:
Set in the Geoje prison camp during the Korean War, the narrative follows the energetic North Korean soldier Rho Ki-Soo (Kyung-soo-Do) who discovers a deep desire to perform as a tap dancer after crossing paths with a dancer and officer from Broadway, Jackson (Jared Grimes). Forming a group alongside Yang Pan-rae (Park Hye-su), Ro Ki-soo yearns to find out the location of his wife Xiao Fang (Kim Min-Ho), a beautiful dancer herself who is limited in her movements due to angina. Directed by Kim Tae Hyung and written by Jang Woo-Sung.
