The movie is quite graphic, but not gratuitously so or for its own sake such as in many a recent horror movie (the Saw series comes to mind). Another vital aspect for an action movie is, of course, that the action sequences are very well done. None of the scenes appear contrived or overly tear-jerker. "This Man" manages to create just the right dark, gloomy mood to match the story and all the characters are believable. Crime lord Oh Myung Gyu sent his subordinates, brothers Man Seok and Jong. One day, Hyo Jeong decided to steals drugs from a feared organized crime group. So Mis mother, Hyo Jeong, is a heroin addict. His only friend is a little girl, So Mi, who lives next door. What made this movie into my favorite action movie in a long while is the execution of that basic plot. (2010) Cha Tae Shik leads a quiet life running a pawnshop. One might think of "Leon" or "Man on Fire" for some closer examples, or movies such as "Taken" in other respects. After all, anyone who has seen even just a moderate amount of action movies will have seen countless movies with variations of this basic plot. By all accounts, the movie should have evoked little more than a shrug. A lone wolf type takes a little girl under his wing, the kid gets kidnapped, and he ends up having to go through heaps of bad guys in his quest to save the girl. The lead character is so strong and invincible, but he doesn't care about glory."This Man" is about as standard plot-wise as action movies get. That's mostly because you know how the movie will progress and that steals a bit of the excitement. The rewatch value is the only thing that is not a ten for me. The ending was a little different from what I expected but it was a good ending. Well, almost since I don't cry that easily. What a great plot! I was on the edge of my seat throughout the movie and the ending made me cry. And the man cannot be stopped! He's a freaking one-man army, who won't stop until he wants to. A man going all the way to save a little girl because she's his friend. It was thrilling and touching all at once.
He has done some really good movies and The Man From Nowhere is a great example of his less-in-quantity-more-in-quality movies. I mean, if we look at it statistically, Won Bin has barely done any dramas beyond the 90s and has only done a handful of movies but if you look out for best actors in Korea, his name tends to come on top. I've only watched him in a supporting role in Autumn in my Heart and while I thoroughly enjoyed his role, I always wondered what made him click so much with the Korean audience (and the audience all over the world, as a matter of fact). Rewatch Value 8.0 So I've been really curious about Won Bin all through this time while watching Korean dramas. Now, I think I'm going to go watch it again :D That's not something you can do easily in action movies:) This movie made me laugh, and made me cry. I haven't seen very many Korean movies, but I honestly believe he could be the best actor in Korea, and one of the best in the world. More than that, this movie would be nothing without her. I loved the little girl~! I couldn't help it. (though in my personal interest, Won Bin is quite a bit more attractive than Liam Neeson )) In 1860, a young orphaned girl is sent to live with her uncle, but she is troubled by a shadowy figure that appears and disappears. With Sarah Hollis Andrews, Ronald Adam, Anthony McCaffery, Shane Franklin. They both have a lot of fast-paced action, a sense of justice, a feeling of wanting to protect something important, and a seriously kick-ass hero to dish it out. The Man from Nowhere: Directed by James Hill. In the beginning I kept thinking how this movie reminded me of the Hollywood movie "Taken". Now I feel EXTREMELY guilty that I was so hesitant to watch this movie. "Sunny" sounded ok, and "The Man From Nowhere" was even better still not quite what I wanted, but the options were starting to get pretty slim and since it was ranked #2, I decided to trust the statistics. I kept scrolling down and down but nothing really caught my eye. Originally, I was looking for a movie to watch to kill some time. It didn't bother me, but if you have a weak tolerance to these things, then this movie may not be very pleasant for you. Keep in mind, "The Man From Nowhere" has considerably more blood, gore, and violence than most movies.
