West 32nd (Korean: 웨스트 32번가) is a 2007 film directed by Michael Kang and written by Edmund Lee of The Village Voice. It stars John Cho, Jun-seong Kim, Grace Park, Jane Kim and Jeong Jun-ho. The plot concerns John Kim (John Cho), an ambitious young lawyer in New York, who takes on a pro-bono case involving a fourteen-year-old Korean boy accused of murder.

A well-written and designed screenplay, West 32nd shows the differences and similarities between the two worlds.
