Back in October/November 2012, the live-action film distribution wing of Right Stuf – 5 Points Pictures announced that they had plans to release the South Korean film ‘Punch’ to the North American market this month. The companies distribution partners have however resulted in a slight amendment to this date, due to them being able to place the title in more retailers granted they reschedule the official release date to the 12th March 2013.
5 Points Pictures have decided to take up this offer, with the new official release date being set as the 12th March 2013. The good news for those interested in picking it up – that as the discs are ready to go, some stores who already have the two-disc set on hand are offering and shipping the title out on the original release date of the 19th February 2013.
To read up more on this film, check out my original post on it – “5 Points Pictures Announce Special Edition DVD Release of PUNCH during February 2013“.
ABOUT PUNCH
Wan-deuk (YOO Ah-in, Sungkyunkwan Scandal, Antique) is a soft-spoken rebel who has all the makings of an at-risk youth. He comes from a poor family headed by a hunchback father and a stammering uncle. He is a quiet loner, who best expresses himself with his fists. And he has no dreams for the future beyond the day he can escape the watchful eye of his meddling homeroom teacher, Dong-ju… who just happens to live right next door.
Dong-ju (KIM Yun-seok, The Thieves, The Chaser) is no ordinary educator. He speaks bluntly and seems more concerned with the world outside the classroom than school regulations. Dong-ju takes a particular interest in his young neighbor’s life. And one day, he blindsides Wan-deuk with some unexpected information: The mother Wan-deuk never knew is a Filipino immigrant, and she wants to see him…
Includes the feature film – plus over an hour of video extras – all with on/off English subtitles!
