Streaming Sleepers: In THE BROKENHEARTED, A Bruising Redemption Tale That Goes Down Swinging
Fifteen years is probably long enough for someone like Leroy Nguyen to have lived and toiled through the independent film arena to garner a book publication one day. Whether or not that day comes remains to be seen, while his latest feature film makes the release rounds via Amazon on digital for rental or purchase with The Brokenhearted, a gritty new crime drama that is also poised to be his final bow. Black Scar Blues was the first time I’d really been able to get a hold of Nguyen’s work, and only because he reached out to me on social media three years prior to its release. The film gave me a really good handle on his cinematic vision which sets discernibly apart from other independent creatives with whom he’s collaborated – folks like Fernando Jay Huerto, Joey Min, and Joseph Le to name a few.

THE BROKENHEARTED: New Stills From Leroy Nguyen’s Gritty New Indie Action Drama
Actor and director Leroy Nguyen (Black Scar Blues, Yes Auntie!) continues to ride the momentum of the start of the new year, with the current campaign for his next directorial effort, The Brokenhearted. New stills have been added via his official Instagram which you can also view below, currently totaling a dozen featuring Nguyen along with the rest of the cast. The Brokenhearted hails from 02 Hero Media and Nguyen’s Rising Tiger Films banner. The film chronicles the violent aftermath of what happens when money becomes a factor between three former childhood friends – a struggling martial artist whose school fails after taking out a loan, and two gangsters: one intent on collecting on the debt, and the other looking to quell the fallout before it’s too late. Check out the brand-new stills in the gallery below, and don’t miss the teaser which premiered last November.
THE BROKENHEARTED Pounds Away At The Violence With A Dark, Moody Teaser
The first official teaser is now online for The Brokenhearted, the new independent action crime thriller from actor and filmmaker Leroy Nguyen. The film marks his latest return to film after leaving some feature notches on his belt with titles like Black Scar Blues, Silverback, and Joey Min’s 2019 action comedy, Yes, Auntie!, and the recent quiet release of James Boss’s indie actioner, Money Fight, on Tubi. Produced by Nguyen out of his Rising Tiger label, The Brokenhearted chronicles the violent aftermath of what happens when money becomes a factor between three former childhood friends – a struggling martial artist whose school fails after taking out a loan, and two gangsters: one intent on collecting on the debt, and the other looking to quell the fallout before it’s too late. Development on the pic began in August 2020, and I am told that the film is at least 75% complete […]
