Chinese Dramedy ‘The Island’ and Korean Caper ‘The Swindlers’ Due on Blu-ray July 30 From Well Go

The quirky, Chinese dark dramedy The Island and the Korean crime caper The Swindlers will come out on digital and Blu-ray July 30 from Well Go USA Entertainment.

Huang Bo’s directorial debut The Island follows an odd group of coworkers played by Huang Bo (Journey to the West), Shu Qi (The Assassin), Wang Baoqiang (Kung Fu Killer) and Zhang Yixing (Kung Fu Yoga), as they try to survive on a deserted island after being shipwrecked. News of a meteorite bound to strike the earth doesn’t have much effect on Ma Jin’s everyday life; he still gets up and goes to a job where he spends his time daydreaming of a romance with his colleague Shanshan, and of winning the lottery. But when this cataclysmic event occurs during a team-building trip, he finds himself shipwrecked on an island with an odd group of coworkers — and the winning lottery ticket in his pocket.

High stakes and fast talk are the game in the crime caper The Swindlers, which brings together an all-star cast (Yoo Ji-tae, Hyun Bin, Bae Seong-woo, Park Sung-woong, Nana) as unlikely allies from different sides of the law, working together to achieve their common goal — trapping the world’s most legendary con man.
