Outstanding repeat Outstanding film!!
Charles Bronson(Deathwish) and Clint Eastwood(Dirty Harry)
would be proud to see the similarities of themselves in the hero of this picture.
The story had depth and great characters,whose portrayal by this cast was impeccable.
The production values where excellent, realistic scenes in totally authentic settings.
The only draw back was the English dubbing of the sound trac which was somewhat less than perfect, but not annoyingly so.
great movie,great uses of Hollywood concept 8/10

In “The Man From Nowhere”, Won Bin stars as Taesik, a mysterious pawnshop owner who has secluded himself from the world after having lost his pregnant wife in a tragic accident. While the socially awkward pawnshop owner tries to live life avoiding as much human contact as possible, he is reluctantly encountered by the troubled little girl-next-door named Somi (played by child actress, Kim Sae Ron). As Somi makes her regular visits to bother Taesik, she becomes the one person in the world that can soften Taesik’s hardened heart.

While we may wish for the movie to continue on with the happy vibe, the meat of the movie begins as Somi’s heroin addict mother interferes in a drug dealer’s operation by stealing an important shipment of heroin, which eventually leads to the kidnapping of her daughter and herself. Taesik’s secret past is slowly unveiled as he sets out on a violent adventure to save his one and only friend, and he has “nothing to lose, nothing to compromise.”

Although this was Won Bin’s first action film, he didn’t fail to deliver all of the intricate and detailed fight choreography. I was even more impressed when I learned that Won Bin completed all of his own stunts and fight scenes, rejecting the director’s offer for a stunt double. The only lacking part I found in this movie was that the English subtitles left out and mistranslated a handful lines in the film, which possibly made the script a bit awkward for non-Korean speakers. Regardless, the movie was a great film that incorporated intense knife and gun fights with Won Bin’s and Kim Sae Ron’s captivating performances of the two emotionally complicated outcasts . I’m not much of an enthusiast of bloody action movies, but let’s just say I’ll be returning to watch this movie once more later this week.
