This short film packs a punch, 24 August 2006
8/10
Author: eva410 from United States

If you're in the mood for a slam-bang, shoot-em-up... Ken is for you. Loaded with action, director Eric Won incorporates crisp editing, suspenseful music, excellent cinematography and fine performances by his cast, most notably Karl Yune in the title role, and Ken Butler as Jack, a mobster (and surrogate father to Ken) who Ken protects. When Jack is killed by a rival, Ken avenges his father's death. The build to the end is quite remarkable, as Mr. Won tells his story in about 20 minutes. He saturated his film with empathy and pathos mixed in with the action, elements usually missing in this type of offering. Give your time to see it. This short film packs a punch.
