Korean Boxing Movie with a Serious Emotional Punch

I watched this film recently, and it so surpassed my expectations that I just had to blog about it. "Crying Fist" is about two down-and-out people who enter a national boxing competition as a way to regain status and self-esteem. The elder contestant is played by the ubiquitous, and excellent Choi Min-sik (Oldboy) in a tremendous performance! All of the acting is great, and I defy anyone to get to the end of this film without getting swept up by the emotionally powerful climax.



The quality of the UK DVD is pretty good, and it's available at absurdly low prices (< £1) via Amazon UK marketplace.

Highly recommended!
