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.
