Critic Reviews for The Man From Nowhere

Audience Reviews for The Man From Nowhere

• Jan 30, 2016

  Gritty and action packed film, reminded me a little of Leon. Great film and the cast are all well served by the creative teams. The ending was a little corny but after everything before it you can let it slide.

  With a magnetic leading man whose demeanor and look almost carries the film by itself combined with excellent cinematography (lighting sets a strong look and the camerawork is exciting and simple yet stylish), THE MAN FROM NOWHERE excels in areas that we expect it to (action, thriller, tenseness) and falters in areas that we hoped it would not but still does (cliche story, some caricature villains). The visual style in this Korean thriller is top-notch and truly elevates the film while a few lighthearted filmmaking moments provide enough comedic relief to add fun to what is otherwise a dreary premise - from the brilliant execution of our protagonist jumping out a window and landing in seemingly one shot, to the deft action and fight scenes that unravel in a no-bullshit manner, and to instances of very appreciable dialogue (most by our main villain) during moments where viewers are probably thinking the same thing (one example occurring during a car ride in which the villain is on the phone with our protagonist and calls out the moments of silences and the eventual hang-up - a fun strategy by director Lee Jeong-beom to diffuse overly dramatic tendencies). Won Bin is electrifying in his role - his performance is muted but painful while aided by sharp costume design that increases the presence (and coolness) of his character. It has its flaws and head-scratching moments, but overall, this film is a strong addition to South Korea's growing list of powerful and riveting revenge crime thrillers.

  It's not the most original story, but it's still well made.

  The Man from Nowhere supplies more than enough drama and bloody-good action to make for a compelling film but what really drives it home is its riveting direction. The film is able to display the emotional, vivacious and authentic storytelling that is a clear developing sign of Korean cinema. 4/5
