When he unwittingly takes delivery of a camera bag containing cocaine, and attracts the attention of its original nefarious traffickers, he embarks on a murderous rampage when the only person who seems to understand him, a little girl by the name of So-mi, is kidnapped as insurance.Īlthough, as I mentioned earlier, I'm not a fan of Hollywood remakes this film can't claim to be highly original. Set around the poorer areas of Seoul, the film follows “a-jeo-ssi” (Korean for Mister), a former black-ops agent for the Korean government, now living a hermetic existence as the owner of pawn shop in a dingy rundown basement. 'The Man from Nowhere' is written and directed by Lee Jeong-beom and stars Korean heartthrob Won Bin ('Mother'). When will American audiences finally learn to read subtitles!? It's was an absolute travesty when Spike Lee remade 'Oldboy' and after finally watching 'The Man from Nowhere' I can definitely say the same thing. I was actually compelled to watch the film when I heard the tragic news that Bob Weinstein's Dimension Films had picked up the rights to 'The Man From Nowhere' and would sadly be remaking it into probably yet another piece of Hollywood trash. What a treat! 'The Man From Nowhere' was Korea's highest grossing film in its year of release demolishing Hollywood competition like 'Iron Man 2'. This film had been on my 'wish list' film for close to 5 years and my wife & I finally decided to watch it last night.
