First poster for action thriller Invincible
by javabeans
The first official poster is out for action-noir blockbuster Invincible, which stars Joo Jin-mo, Song Seung-heon, Kim Kang-woo, and Jo Han-seon. The tagline reads, “Brothers who meet as enemies, friends who team up through loyalty.” That refers to the fact that Joo and Song are partners involved in illegal arms trade, while Kim plays a cop who’s also Joo’s younger brother.
What do you think — are they less cheesy than the character stills? (I’d say yes on the whole, but Song Seung-heon’s lollipop smirk still makes me laugh. Also — do mine eyes deceive me, or has somebody Photoshopped the lollipop stick badly near his mouth?)
This A Better Tomorrow remake touts a 10 billion won production budget and includes involvement from four countries (Korea, Japan, Thailand, and China). It will release in theaters in September, in time for the busy Chuseok holiday.

I don't think your eyes deceive you. Looks like the lollipop is going through his lips ( and I'm being generous here 'cuz If I'd say my own mind, I'd say it looks like he's holding an empty stick). Looks frankly ridiculous. The poster does indeed look less cheesy than the character stills... but not really exciting either.
Who the HELL did they pay to do such a poor photoshop work? Geez...

That lollipop stick is funny! Guess, they were such in a hurry to display the poster and forget some QA checking if it's all good.
If we can see it even if it's just a small picture...just imagine if they made a huge poster of that. People sure will notice that the lollipop is fake. LOL

Gee... Joo Jin-mo's eyes successfully hypnotized me. Also, how could that photoshopped lollipop stick ridiculously pass (if there's any) quality check?

If the poster and the stills are any indication of the film, I may have to skip this one. There is no way you could possibly capture the cool-factor of the original.

Of the 4, Joo Jin Mo stands out in this poster. Maybe his pic is taken from the front and his eyes are not covered by shades. They speak more than words could. I am looking forward to this movie.

Maybe I'm wrong but that lollipop stick looks in his mouth to me! It's just at an angle and you can see it's displaced his lip.

Can anyone explain what they're even going for with the lollipop stick? Is it a this guy is playful AND bad ass (unhinged, too maybe)? Or is it a la Gun-wook in Bad Guy where the lollipop is a stand-in for a cigarette?

It would've been sexier if it was a cigarette even though I don't like guys that smoke. A lollipop just came out of nowhere... literally!
Also, the top row...OH YES YES YES!!! The 2nd row... eh, sure! Not bad! :)
Who are the female leads?

The lollipop is not just for the poster, SSH sucks on the lollipop thru out the movie. SSH is going to be the Korean Kojak. Anyway, Chow Yun Fat used a matchstick in his remake. This movie is a remake of a remake or a remake.

i couldn't stand SSH and his acting but i'd still watch the movie because of the other three actors especially Kim Gang Woo.

omg the lollipop/cigarette (lol) does look weird! At first glance I thought to myself "pfftt..he has that in his mouth!" then I took a closer look and it doesn't even look like it's in his mouth and you're right, it looks like a bad photoshop job.

@Bo bae: A Better Tomorrow is a remake of what?
As for the lollipop, maybe SSH was taking it out of his mouth? Know what, looks more like a stir stick than anything else.
