As Kyung-Suk invariably acts on his desires to kill another helpless victim Soo-Hyeon conveniently shows up, and tortures Kyung-Suk, and then once again he let's him free with intent of capturing him again for yet another session of torture. Ironically his occupation is a secret service agent, Soo-hyeon captures Kyung-suk with relative ease, rather than turning him over to authorities he let's him loose with intent to capture him again which is made possible by implanting a tracking device in his body without him knowing. One of the most sadistic characters in recent modern cinema, his killing spree is forced into retirement when the Protagonist Soo-hyeon Kim played by Lee Byung Hyun better known to the western fans as storm shadow(GI Joe) exerts equal level of maniacal zeal to hunt down the Kyung Suk to pay retribution for killing his fiancee. The principal driving force behind the killer Kyung Suk's motive for killing(Min-Sik Choi) is merely to satiate his innate desire to kill, there is no act of sublimation with this guy, he just kills, he is the embodiment of pure evil, the film does not delve into the psychological makeup of this killer to explain why he kills, viewers naturally have to draw their own conclusions, one thing is clear, and that is he is a misogynist.
WATCH THE MAN FROM NOWHERE XMVOIES MOVIE
The lead character is so strong and invincible, but he doesn't care about glory.This movie was a comeback vehicle for Min-Shik Choi(held in high esteem as one of the best actors in Korea), after 5 yrs of hiatus which he pulled off brilliantly as the unrelenting psychopathic serial killer. That's mostly because you know how the movie will progress and that steals a bit of the excitement. The rewatch value is the only thing that is not a ten for me. The ending was a little different from what I expected but it was a good ending. Well, almost since I don't cry that easily. What a great plot! I was on the edge of my seat throughout the movie and the ending made me cry.
And the man cannot be stopped! He's a freaking one-man army, who won't stop until he wants to. A man going all the way to save a little girl because she's his friend. It was thrilling and touching all at once. He has done some really good movies and The Man From Nowhere is a great example of his less-in-quantity-more-in-quality movies. I mean, if we look at it statistically, Won Bin has barely done any dramas beyond the 90s and has only done a handful of movies but if you look out for best actors in Korea, his name tends to come on top. I've only watched him in a supporting role in Autumn in my Heart and while I thoroughly enjoyed his role, I always wondered what made him click so much with the Korean audience (and the audience all over the world, as a matter of fact). Rewatch Value 8.0 So I've been really curious about Won Bin all through this time while watching Korean dramas. Now, I think I'm going to go watch it again :D
That's not something you can do easily in action movies:) This movie made me laugh, and made me cry. I haven't seen very many Korean movies, but I honestly believe he could be the best actor in Korea, and one of the best in the world. More than that, this movie would be nothing without her. I loved the little girl~! I couldn't help it. (though in my personal interest, Won Bin is quite a bit more attractive than Liam Neeson )) They both have a lot of fast-paced action, a sense of justice, a feeling of wanting to protect something important, and a seriously kick-ass hero to dish it out. In the beginning I kept thinking how this movie reminded me of the Hollywood movie "Taken". Now I feel EXTREMELY guilty that I was so hesitant to watch this movie. "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. I kept scrolling down and down but nothing really caught my eye. Originally, I was looking for a movie to watch to kill some time. 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. Keep in mind, "The Man From Nowhere" has considerably more blood, gore, and violence than most movies.
