Film Review: “West 32nd”
Contrary to what some may think, Korean-American society has its greaseballs too – played brilliantly by Jun Kim in West 32nd. The crime drama had an eerie sense of familiarity, so accurately capturing the essence of immigrant society in New York City’s Korea town. Of course there were the familiar sights – W 32nd St. – a place I worked just around the corner for 2 years, and parts of Flushing – Main St. NY – where I pretty much grew up. But it was the criminal element that both disturbed and resonated with me. It was simultaneously familiar and frightening and artistically portrayed; I am glad to see Asian-American directors and actors comign into their own. Oh yes – and there’s John Cho – who is such a hottie right now on Flash Forward.
