| IGN MoviesBrian LinderA well-made, street-stylish drama that defies stock Hollywood storytelling conceits with its complex themes and grey-area approach to its subject matter. |
| Filmcritic.comDon WillmottWriter/director Michael Kang seems to be going for a Mean Streets vibe, but he's no Scorsese, at least not yet. |
| User ReviewJonathan LSaw it in Seoul. First, awesome to see Asian faces speaking English on the silver screen. Second, enjoyed the story immensely. Third, loved seeing familiar places, faces and the sketchy Korean-American underworld...muhahaha |
| User ReviewPrivate Unice casting. nice script. good jokes. Michael Kang used similar dark-side-of-the-city setting as he used in his last film "the motel," which was pretty cool. Commercial film but still meaningful. Some parts don' make sense but I liked it. |
| User ReviewAlan LJust saw this at the Chicago AAFF. Definitely a must see for anyone. |
| User ReviewWilly Bmaintains consistent interest. very believable renditions, sets, costumes, everything. certain parts of violence towards the end were a bit surprising, but it fit in overall with the story. wish for more character development, but apparently they had to cut some scenes and such bc of producers. |
| User ReviewJessica LGood gen2 version of a Korean-American movie. Plot, acting, action - all good. |
| User ReviewWinona TI saw West 32nd at the SFIAAFF last night and found the story to be disturbingly believable. |
| User ReviewMary NSlick, dark intense crime drama. Good casting, production values. |
| User ReviewJuan BWell written and well acted story about Korea Town and the Korean 'mafia.' John Cho is well cast as an ambitious and anxious lawyer and Jun Sung Kim is great as the likable villain. Grace Park is good too and, beautiful as ever, shows why she is hottest Asian-American in show biz today. |
