I actually liked Sung Kang's role in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. (He's the guy who originally lends his car to the American for his first "drift" race). I searched IMDB and found The Motel as one of his movies.
Sung Kang is the supporting actor while a little fat unknown Chinese actor is in the main role.

(if you have giganews/newsleecher, you can still grab it. It was posted 98 days ago on alt.binaries.movies.divx)Thirteen-year-old Ernest Chin lives and works at a sleazy hourly-rate motel on a strip of desolate suburban bi-way. Misunderstood by his family and blindly careening into puberty, Ernest befriends Sam Kim, a self-destructive yet charismatic Korean man who has checked in. Sam teaches the fatherless boy all the rites of manhood.
The Motel is probably one of the more true to life stories about a neglected kid growing up. There's no real happy ending, moral to the story or anything like that except for what you may surmise yourself from watching it.
Another good flick for those that can handle movies with no action.
8/10
Might restore your faith in movies after watching PoC3.
