Michael Kang’s West 32nd was on the film festival circuit last year. If you missed it here’s your chance to watch it on DVD. You’ll recognize both John Cho and Grace Park in this US/Korea joint production. Here’s a synopsis:
When John Kim (John Cho), an ambitious young lawyer, takes on a pro bono case to exonerate a fourteen-year-old boy from a first degree murder charge, he finds a world he never knew existed in the underbelly of Manhattan -the Korean underworld. Infiltrating the knotty and complex realm of Korean organized crime to search for clues, he meets his match, Mike Juhn, a rising soldier in the syndicate. Recognizing John’s determination and daring, Mike brings John into his confidence, furtively drawing him into his scheme to re-shuffle the Korean underworld. Though they become fast friends, they just as quickly end up trying to outfox each other as they discover they’ll both do anything to win.
