Pretty darn good. I thought the acting in this was great. I loved all the rain and snow scenes. The were shot nicely and really created a somber atmosphere. The lead male gave a moving performance. His portrait of grief, shock and somber irrationality really pulled me into his character. The story was solid enough to keep me engaged and I am glad I came across it.

Life No Longer Exists For A Parent Who Has Lost A Child
A Great Movie
I was very skeptical at first, but after reading the synopsis of the movie I decided to give it a shot. I was well rewarded for that decision. As a father with a daughter who is the love of my life, I found the story line very appealing and riveting. The acting was superb. I identified with what the father was going through after his daughter's death and actually believe that I would seek out my own personal justice too. All of the actors were great. I was very surprised at the level of entertainment that this movie provided. I never left my seat for the entire movie. I hope to see more entertaining movies such as this one in the future. I highly recommend that you sit down and watch this movie. You won't be disappointed.
Broken Review: Another excellent revenge film from South Korea.
Movie: Broken (18)
Rating: 4.75/5
The film is as good as most South Korean films are. But what makes it different from usual revenge films is the treatment and portrayal of emotions. In the beginning you might feel the film is like usual revenge films but as it proceeds with the storytelling, you find it is NOT. Jung Jae-young, who left me highly impressed in CONFESSION OF MURDER, does another great job here as he's highly impressive in the act he delivers. He's the soul of the film and he fully realizes it.
The film has great visuals at the same time. The thrills work big time, and the action sequences impress. The editing is excellent, as the film never bores. The message delivered by the film is felt well. Kudos to the director for portraying the brutal reality of the society well.
BROKEN is a film which not only entertains, but also leaves you broken especially towards the end.
