Jang Eok Gwan is assisted by Park Hyeon Soo (Seo Jun Young), whose sympathy lies more with Lee Sang Hyeon than the teenage criminals. Throughout “Broken” viewers are forced to confront the same conflict as the detectives. Is Lee Sang Hyeon more evil than the teenagers who murdered his adolescent daughter? As the plot unfolds, the detectives and Lee Sang Hyeon are aided by anonymous tips that are delivered by an unlikely source.

The performance by Jung Jae Young is superb. Jung Jae Young also leads the cast of the upcoming historical film “The Fatal Encounter”, with “Broken” setting the stage for positive reception of acting within the film. “Broken” opened in second place within the Korean box office and is a gripping thriller whose plot transcends cultures.

“Broken” is non-rated, however caution should be exercised for younger audiences due to the nature of the plot. “Broken” opens on May 7 at CGV Cinemas in Los Angeles.
