    WARNING:
    Keep in mind, "The Man From Nowhere" has considerably more blood, gore, and violence than most movies. 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.

    Originally, I was looking for a movie to watch to kill some time.
    I kept scrolling down and down but nothing really caught my eye. "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.
    Now I feel EXTREMELY guilty that I was so hesitant to watch this movie. I should not have taken it so

    The main reason why I started watching this was because everyone on MDL is always recommending it, as well as it being one of the top movies ranked on MDL. I was going on a trip so I stockpiled a few of the top movies and throughout my trip I watched them. I watched The Man From Nowhere or Ahjussi on the plane yesterday and this is what I thought of it...


    Story 9/10 : The general story is actually not that original. I've seen many American movies like it (for example Denzel Washingtons' Man On Fire). However, that doesn't lower the entertainment value of this film. This films story has you on the edge of your seat for the ENTIRE film. The scriptwriter(s) deserve much

  • If you are into mysterious, dark heroes who fight like pros and talk the bare minimum, both these films are for you. Both have great fighting scenes and outstanding acting performances.

  • In both movies the main character breaks all the rules to save the life of a child.

    I don't usually watch movies like this, but since it was so high on the list I decided to watch it and I'm glad I did. This movie was ridiculously awesome and filled with so much badassery!

    it was like watching typical crappy action movie made in U.S with seagal in it ,too predictable
  • deadman Mar 15, 2013
    i watched this in media arts class and there's one thing i can say: bad idea. i almost cried a couple times and i almost screamed because of won bin's badassery. might rewatch it at home to let out all the ~feels~.

    this movie is really awesome. the emotions of every character reached me. and ermergerd don't even get me started on the fight scenes. too much badassery going on.

    Can somebody help me? I don't understand what the guy says about Tae Sik in english when they're in the van and have just kidnapped Mi Jeong and her mother!
    Thank you :)
    • suzurancrow Apr 4, 2013
      Late reply, but I think the guy said that Tae Sik was different because he didn't flinch when he shot someone :)

      A LOT of that happens in every country and much less in western Europe and north America. human trafficking is super high in Africa, Asia and eastern Europe. Like when poor people sell their daughters to pay for things. still happens very often.
    • DramaLoverSara Jan 24, 2013
      i know ,and that soo sad :( wished the world was at peace
