The Korean crime-thriller is headed for Blu-ray next month.
In an early announcement to retailers, CJ Entertainment will be releasing 'The Divine Move ' on Blu-ray on March 17.
Tae-seok (Jung Woo-sung, The Good, The Bad, The Weird), is an ex-professional baduk player and a fairly good gambler who likes high-stakes games. When Tae-seok's brother gambles his life away in a high stakes game of Go, Tae-seok is wrongfully accused of his murder and sent to prison after he is humiliated and defeated in a gambling game by an underground kingpin, Sal-soo (Lee Beom-soo, Over My Dead Body, Lifting Kingkong). Fighting for his life and yearning to avenge his brother's death, Tae-seok spends several years in jail training non-stop to battle against anyone in the gambling world who stands in the way. When Tae-seok is released from prison, he gathers the best master players of GO to prepare the biggest play for revenge.
The Divine Move is packed with non-stop action from the moment it starts to the closing credits. One of the most brutal and bloody action movies in recent years, it showcases the results of countless hours of training that action movie masters Jung Woo-sung, Lee Beom-soo, and newcomer Choi Jin-hyuk invested in the making of the film. According to director Cho Beom-gu, the aim was "to expand the limit of action spectacles of Korean cinema." The Divine Move is presented, produced and presented by Showbox and Mediaplex, and distributed by CJ Entertainment.
Specs haven't been revealed yet, but supplements include Making of The Divine Move and a trailer.
The suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $29.98.
