The Brokenhearted

I've never heard of ANYONE in this film, nor any of the filmmakers behind it. I caught this on Fawesome (of all places). Despite the RIDICULOUS amount of ads on the platform (at least 7-minutes worth each break!), I thoroughly and surprisingly enjoyed this. It's a story about childhood friends who grow up to walk different paths, and those paths threaten to destroy their relationships with each other. Very drama-heavy, especially for something that, from the trailer, looks to be marketed as an action film. I can see why some see this as a negative, but I also see this as a film that's trying to be more than just a "brainless action movie". Acting is great across the board, the action scenes work well within the story, it's decently edited, and the music fits the tone of the film. One complaint is that the pacing may put some off, since it starts off fairly slow setting up the characters. But it's worth it in the end. This is not a happy film, and it ends appropriately, which takes guts and gets kudos from me.

This is a movie about sadness. Quite rought around the edges, but still a good watch. Not very much fighting though. This is more a drama but still very good. The actor not profesional but still do a good job with there charactrers.

The story is very familiar. Nothing you have not seen before, but well done for a movie with no budget. You can see the makers did the best they could with what they had. Acting is all around good with some weak spot here and there, but quite interesting and I was engaged. The fighting when it happens is very good. Sometimes a little hard to watch because the camera moves a little too much or is too close but it felt real. I cared about what happen to the characters too.

This is an ugly film, but in a good way. Its dark and grimy, and feels real. The story unfolds steadily, but the script occasionally feels rushed or underdeveloped, missing opportunities for greater depth. And the action scenes and violence, while infrequent, reveal the characters' struggles. The acting is actually quite good at times, with Sonny and Liz being the best characters. Other areas are spotty, but that's a given for something as low budget as this. The music is pretty good too, although there may actually be a little too much of it to the point it takes a way a little bit from the movie. But all in all, this is a pretty good film. Just don't expect non-stop action and you'll be fine.

OKAY so I watched this on tubi and let me tell you this MOVIE SLAPS like fr I thought it was just gonna be fights and yelling but then BOOM EMOTIONSthe acting??? CHEFS KISS especially that one lady, Jackie SJ Kim (queen status), she was like sad but also strong and also beautiful and she looked at people and I was like "wow I feel that look in my soul"every time she was on screen I was like YES MORE OF THIS she didn't even have to say much just look and I was like . She had this one part where she talks and you just KNOW she's been through stuff and I was like "girl same"also the main guy Sonny was cool too I guess and the other dudes were angry a lot which was dramatic and good and there were fists and crying and lights and rain (I think?)I didn't understand some stuff and I might've missed a plot point because I was texting but when Jackie came on I paid FULL attention this movie is like if sadness and fists got married and Jackie SJ Kim was the flower girl but also the bride?? Idk metaphor is hardANYWAY 5 STARS I CRIED A LITTLE.

Acting is just okay. Doesnt seem like this film had any money behind it so the acting on that level is okay. The main guy is a bit too much like he's in a different movie. The rest of the cast is fine. The bad guy with the mask is the best becuase he doesn't say anything. If I sound like im being too hard on the film Im not. I thought this was an action film but there is so little action its more of a drama with bits of fighting here and there mostly at the end. Thats the main reason why I'm giving this movie a 6/10. The fighting is okay for what it is but its not really what i was looking for.
