Most helpful review The Man from Nowhere

  • best Korean film since Old Boy

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By Koppert (267 reviews) from Scarborough , 30 May 2011

    utterly convincing and brilliant . powerful story which although violent convinces in the bond between lead characters. The fight scenes are choreographed so far ahead of Hollywood which although brutally violent still remain to be quite beautiful to watch.

    I watched this film, took it to my mates and watched it again

  • Gritty realism it's not - too much style for it's own good

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By spoonz (8 reviews) from London , 19 May 2013
    Just to balance the gushing reviews. I did watch this film to the end, and enjoyed quite a bit of it. But come on. Overly stylistic and sentimental. Average action scenes and no particular great set pieces. Some good acting though, particularly the bad guys. But the lead dude's haircut... looks more like a perfume model than a hard man. Still, manages to work on some level but not a high point in Korean cinema.

  • Gripping, but, is it entertainment?

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By Iggi_1 (109 reviews) , 15 May 2013
    Gripping film that has a cracking pace from start to finish. Lots of violence, some black humour, but it is a long way darker than Kill Bill or a Jet Li film: Some of the storyline is quite upsetting. I don't know if you can enjoy this film, but, you will be moved by it.

    Wonderful and utterly convincing performances from the two leads, as a pair of outsiders finding each other, losing each other, finding each other again and spilling a lot of blood along the way. It's good. It's really, really good.

    Someone compared this movie with Taken. I do like Taken but this movie outscored it. I just cried at the end. Hats off to you guys.
