Broken (Korean: 방황하는 칼날; lit. Hovering Blade; Roving Edge) is a 2014 South Korean action thriller film written and directed by Lee Jeong-ho. The film stars Jung Jae-young and Lee Sung-min in the lead roles. The narrative revolves around a father (played by Jung Jae-young) who becomes a fugitive as he hunts down the two men responsible for his daughter's rape and murder.
