The Man From Nowhere
New York Asian Film Festival 2011
July 1 - 14, 2011
One part Bourne, one part Batman, this award-winning flick about a retired spy rescuing a girl from kidnappers was Korea’s biggest blockbuster of 2010.
Beating everything at the Korean box office (including Inception and Iron Man 2) and winning 12 of Korea’s biggest film awards, The Man From Nowhere is a sleek, streamlined thrill machine. One part Batman and one part Bourne, star Won Bin plays a retired government operative, living in obscurity, collecting his pension and minding his own business. But when a gang of black market organ harvesters abduct the kid who lives next door, he swings into action like a sleek torpedo, tearing through everyone in his path as he races to the rescue. If you thought Hollywood had a lock on taut, tight, high impact summer blockbusters, think again.
