Also known as The Hovering Blade. Broken is a thriller that brings a little more to the table than the typical crime drama movie. Specially since we are going to witness desperation from the very first minute of the story.
First of all, Jung Jae Young has been making so many movies that I find myself behind them. Whenever I get to watch one of them, another one is released and so on. What amazes me the most about him is his ability to portrait completely oposite characters without referring us for even a second to a previous role. That is something that very few actors in the world can achieve and I am a huge fan of him because of that.
On the other hand, he tends to pick extremely good scripts. So, basiaclly he is quality warranty and this movie is not an exception.
Synopsis of Broken

Partly because of these urging guilt he’s feeling and mainly because of revenge. He will start chasing the culprits before the police does. Will he turn himself into a murderer? Will he be able to find any consolation? Is he even looking for it?

This is a great thriller which won’t try to please us even for a second. Unfairness, injustice and the reality involving drugs, youth and unsolved situations, and that’s why the use of rehab services when you click here from sites like https://www.addictiontreatmentrehab.co.uk/alternatives/ukat-rehab-prices can be useful for this. Situations that need extreme care from elders that seem blind and deaf to them. A desperate run from a father that feels it is his fault his daughter is dead. Trying to redeem himself to get the girl’s forgiveness. Another of Jung Jae Young’s great tough roles.
Sad, hard to watch, and a must if you like strong stories with good performances and debating situations.
