A man seeks to recover a little girl living next door to him, who has been kidnapped by drug lords. Let’s get the bad out of the way first; this is a cliched, over-emotional story. At some points it takes itself so seriously you almost want to laugh out loud. The plot is disturbing in a way, but you can almost feel the screenwriters desperately trying to come up with the most messed up scenario possible. That said, when it’s not trying too hard, The Man From Nowhere is an absolute masterpiece. The action is slick & restrained but you still feel every blow. Lee makes it look easy but the level of expertise required to pull off a film like this is far and above what most Hollywood directors are capable of. It’s ironic that the emotional scenes are way over the top while the action is lean and believable. The way the tension slowly builds to a brilliant final sequence is expertly done, and keeps the audience absolutely riveted. The Man From Nowhere is a must-see Korean action thriller that blew me away in spite of its ropey script. http://benoliver999.com/film/2016/04/24/themanfromnowhere/

Impressive. I'm a fan of korean thrillers and this is definitely on my Top 5, with the first being Oldboy. This one is definitely worth a watch.

Crazy mix of "taken", "man of fire" and "oldboy". Great watch.

When your mother, a drug addict whore, steals goods from a triad, and you are a little girl, what can you take from you? Kidneys? Eyes? That’s how this world works, it’s better for everyone. But the girl has a neighbor, he seems good, she calls his Uncle. New times, but honor for a warrior is not an empty phrase. They are already dead.

It's brutal, has some fighting scenes, but it's in no way an action-packed movie.

Drama and character development makes the first half of the movie, with a rather slow plot progression to familiarize the audience with the characters. During this one hour there is also a glimpse of the wor More

To all the John Wick fans out there, I give you The Man From Nowhere which is just the perfect Action Lover and Thriller Lovers film as it is just full of great acting, story telling and action set pieces. The story revolves around a man who genuinely has lost everything in life and feels he no long More
