Sae-ron Kim is not only precious, but also brilliant in her role, as is Bin Won as the ex-black operations soldier/pawnshop keeper. The film so effectively depicts the lengths criminals will go to for money it makes one shudder to think this actually does happen in real life. Filled with so much feeling and emotion, this action -packed thriller was a delight to watch - and what a beautiful ending!

All the characters were written in a very basic manner - no one stops to make logical decisions. People on similar sides of the conflict don't communicate, which may make the movie more dramatic, but instead l was left bewildered at why people were doing what they were doing.On the plus side, the acting was really good - especially the daughter So Mi and the main character.

The man from nowhere lives in a pawnshop next to a mother and daughter. He is a withdrawn man with no relationships and tries to keep to himself, however he forms a bond with a young girl. Over the time they spend time together, he develops a soft spot for her. But then she was abducted and her mother was killed. The man from nowhere goes on a quest to get her back. I really enjoyed the movie 'The Man from Nowhere'. It had great plot development and a wonderful storyline. You really got to see the characters deepen throughout the movie. You learned that the "man from nowhere" wasn't always so dark. This was one of the most interesting parts of the movie to me, to find out he had a wife, but not just a wife, a pregnant wife that died was heart- breaking to me. But it really explained his character. It showed why he was so scared to form connections, he was just scared of getting hurt again. It also had a great ending, I was very much expecting for the little girl to be dead, but everything worked out okay in the end. Although he might go to jail, she was alive and thats all that mattered to me.

This was a very intense movie to watch. It had many exciting elements to it as well as many sad moments. The story follows a man named Cha Tae Shik. He served as part of a special operations unit in the military and went completely under the radar after the death of his wife. The only people he has left are a drug abusive dancer and her little daughter who is only a toddler. When a South Korean gang takes the mother and kills her to fuel their black market organ trade, they take her daughter as hostage. Cha Tae Shik wont stop until he gets the dancer's daughter back. In the meantime, the cops are also going after the gang members, but they get needlessly distracted with Shik. This movie had many intense action scenes in it. It was petty easy to watch at some points but at others it became very hard. For example when the garbage truck slammed into Shik's car, killing his wife and unborn baby. Or when the trunk of one of the gang's cars is popped open, revealing the dead, harvested body of the mother. One of my favorite scenes was in the end, after Cha Tae Shik had killed all of the bad guys and was in the parking lot. Out of the dark came the daughter, in good health, and ran towards him. This relieved basically all of the suspense and tension that nearly the entire movie had built up. I also noticed how clever some of the camera angles were. My favorite was when Shik was running into the subway station. As he entered, it was raining and the camera was facing down as the water droplets fell away from the viewer. It created a very cool effect in my opinion.
