came across it on a scene release site.

may be worth a look , i wasn't sure until i read this review



If you liked Oldboy, you'll like this film.

I hated Oldboy, if that's any indicator of how I felt about The Man From Nowhere. I think some of the Korean directors are going for distinction in the "Cruelest of Asians" category, judging from the content of many recent films from Korea. And frankly, I worry about sharing the planet with the people who have given this movie rave reviews and high rating numbers.

This film is excessively violent and graphic, and I just could not watch the final moments. I'm already concerned that some of the images might stick unwanted in my memory.

That said, the lead actor, Bin Won (who was brilliant in Tae Guk Gi in 2004) and the little girl who played Some turned in awesome performances. Where do they find these brilliant children? This little scamp will tear your heart out, just as she did for her neighbor in the film.

I think what really bothers me about films like this is that threatening to commit the kind of cruelties they carry out here would be sufficient. Instead, nothing is left to the imagination, which is frightening enough. It's all played out in very gory fashion.

Just want to warn you, if you're a lover and not a sadistic fighter.


Now i defiantly have to watch it!

it was amazing Hal!

the director is a genius, he has won a lot of awards for this. and the little girl almost made me cry... almost :lol:

not to mention the gratuitous violence and fast packed action.

Recommend everyone gives it a go. subbed movies are not for everyone but the this one makes it worth it.

I think you'll like it, because I don't think the violence will bother you - decent mix of story and action. Then again you can be picky too.

You realize it requires reading right? :lol:
