TOO THIN



Selfishness. Responsibility. Punishment. Enlightement. Temptation. Love of Christ. All of that done in a semi satirical manner. Aka „Secret sunshine”. 

No amplitudes. No development. No true conclusion. Just a lot of empty space.

„Secret sunshine” is too pretentious and too unconvincing for the subject it tackles.

SOLID BOXING FLICK



Boxing scripts are not very creative, so isn't the parallel story about the troubled young inmate with a complicated family situation (Seung-bum Ryoo)  and the worn down ex-Olympic medalists drowning in debts (Choi Min-Shik).

„Crying fist” won't deviate much from its basic pattern about redemption through comeback and commitment, but will do it a decent and non too pathetic way. Acting is solid, and so are the fighting scenes.

If you are into boxing movies, you should watch „Crying fist”. If not, you can watch it also.
