Review of The Man from Nowhere (2010) by Tsubaki S — 24 Sep 2011
The man from nowhere could use a plot from somewhere else beyond clicheland. Mr Won Bin is a fine actor, and the movie has well made action pieces, but there are several problems with the script and feel of the movie.
From the movie's obsession to present the lead character as the most dangerous man who ever walked the planet, to useless characters like an obnoxious detective who adds nothing to the plot. The melo-cliches, and the movie trying a bit too hard at times to be like Leon, doesn't help either.
. Because Won Bin is presented as this super effective killing machine the action sequences lack tension, he always destroys everything and everyone with no effort whatsoever. An ok time waster, nothing more.
