"Widower Lee Sang-hyeon lives a quiet life with his 15-year-old daughter Su-jin. But one day she is abducted and raped, and her corpse is found at a derelict public bathhouse. Sang-hyeon is left helpless in the face of his daughter's death, with nothing left to cling on to but his feelings of anger and despair. The investigation into his daughter's death is progressing slowly, so restless and unable to sit quiet any longer, he decides to take matters into his own hands. Sang-hyeon receives an anonymous text message with information on the culprit, including an address where the sender claims Sang-hyeon would find electronic evidence of the crime; when he gets there, he sees a man, Kim Cheol-yong laughing as he watches a video showing Su-jin's rape and murder. Sang-hyeon accidentally kills Cheol-yong in a fit of rage, and upon learning that Cheol-yong had an accomplice, becomes hellbent on finding the second rapist/murderer. Upon examining Cheol-yong's murder scene, Jang Eok-gwan, the detective who leads the investigation into Su-jin's murder, realizes that Sang-hyeon was the killer and sets out on his trail"
A thought provoking film that will you leave you questioning society. Not only is it a thriller but it is a thriller with a heart. Jung Jae-young was able to successfully express the characters emotions perfectly to the point that you feel for him. I enjoyed the film quite a lot but it was heart wrenching at times thanks to the wonderful acting and powerful images. Lee Sung-min did a great job as a supporting actor which would be pretty hard. He was able to express the conflicted emotions that a detective feels. This two actors were able to make this movie great, this film had a great casting director. Broken is Lee Jeong-ho's second movie as a director and it doesn't show. He was able to tell a touching/conflicted story.
3/5
