Synopsis

It tells the story of four high school friends and the dark side of youth as they continues their headlong leap into adulthood.

Cast

Hangul Celluloid's Paul Quinn: "While Speed is equally as hard-hitting and Korean specific as director Lee Sang-woo's earlier work, its story of the difficulties faced in life during the move from youth to adulthood makes it perhaps his most universally accessible film so far."
Screen Anarchy's Peter Martin: "Speed represents a step forward for director Lee, making it abundantly clear that he is familiar with the trappings of modern-day Young Adult melodrama, while refusing to compromise the integrity of his characters, no matter how twisted they become."
