Breathless

Powerful enough to leave you Breathless
Breathless is a drama film from South Korea. It tells the story of Sang-hoon and Yeon-hee; both suffer from and try to cope with their violent pasts. The relationship they develop was a "big brother/little sister" type of relationship, we can see they really care for each other and it could've gone deeper. More importantly, this film tells the story and sends the message of the never-ending circle of violence. Although some violence is done of screen, most of the domestic violence is vivid and brutal. The scenes that really got me were the scenes where Sang-hoon beats on his father and the outcome of those beatings. Some may cringe or look away especially if it hits home, and the authenticity is a big plus in this film. The feelings this film evokes are refreshing and daring. Overall, the story is deep, the character are great, the acting is brilliant (Yang Ik-june as Sang-hoon gives an amazing performance) and it has one breathtaking ending. This is a must watch movie, and I highly...

Didn't get my money's worth
Was a bit disappointed.. Korean movies usually hit the mark but this one didn't! It was a good story but I really don't buy the fact that someone as smart as this dude couldn't see it coming....
