Having been nominated for and winning numerous awards, "The Man From Nowhere" (2010, directed by Lee Jeong-beom) is definitely one to see, but not for the reasons you might think. This dark action flick seduces you with it's delivery of gritty violence and dynamic action scenes, but at its core this is a story of identity, the meaning in one's life and rekindling the passion for that which we hold dear.
Hey U Guys.co.uk:
Directed by Jeong-beom Lee (Cruel Winter Blues), this new Korean action thriller finally reaches UK shores after a wave of box office and critical success abroad and we have the new UK trailer to share with you.
The Man From Nowhere quickly became a box office success in Korea in 2010, with over 6 million admissions, and it went on to win a number of awards in technical categories and for the the lead performances of Bin Won and Sae-ron Kim.
This trailer is really good. It reminds me of Kill Bill and the revenge fighting she did all over the place.
