Punchy

Breathless (2009)

Written and directed by Yang Ik-June this film stars the director and Kim Kkot-bi. A thug that works for a loan shark in Korea makes friends with a teenage school girl.

Violence begets violence is the pretty simple message of this film as children with violent upbringings become violent adults. While the message behind the film is not exactly original this is a fairly well made film that does a good job of constructing a variety of characters to show how violence has affected them. Some of the camera work is a little on the annoying side at times but otherwise this is a well made film.

4/5
