Glenn Palmedo-Smith's Korean War Documentary Hold at All Costs is a heart wrenching rollercoaster that will capture you with its poignant words from both the Americans and South Koreans; and hold you with its bold sound design, agonizing photos, and astounding story-telling. It will leave you feeling foolish that you were one of the many that were unaware of the unthinkable endeavors of all who set foot on Outpost Harry.
Glenn Palmedo-Smith is applauded for capturing interviews with individuals that give the audience an unfamiliar perspective to not only this battle, but the entire Korean War. In no time, one will be able to look past the inconsistent cinematography and focus completely on not only the words coming out of the mouths of Newt Gingrich, Oliver North, and the South Korean Prime Minister, but also sense the dedication, agony, and hatred of holding position at Outpost Harry - at all costs.
The film's strong suit is the director's storytelling. One can sense the audacity and wisdom of Glenn Palmedo-Smith shortly after the film opens. The crew's talent is felt through intricate editing, powerful pacing, composing, and set supervision. The geographical animations are flat; however, the map will all of a sudden have three dimensions during which you will feel a shift in the story - revealing itself to be an extremely sophisticated trick. Along with other tricks such as the use of characters like Charles Johnson and the uncredited discovery of the "mannequin challenge", Hold at All Costs is an award-winning monumental film that we all need to support for the better of the human race.
