The
director of ARAHAN and NO BLOOD NO TEARS is back with a vengeance. This
film follows the desperate attempts of two down-and-out men who turn to
boxing to change their lives. In one corner, there's Tae-sik (Choi Min-sik).
He's a middle-age fighter whose fifteen-minutes-of-fame came and went
long ago after he won the silver medal at the Asian Games. Now he earns
money as a punching bag, taking money for allowing people to beat him
up on the street corner. His opponent is Sang-hwan (Ryu Seung-beom), a
bitter and angry young man who is always one step away from being arrested.
The two men will meet in the ring. Only one will survive.
