Review of The Man from Nowhere (2010) by Johan L — 24 Jul 2017

Now this is movie with a capitol M.

I saw this flick for almost 4 times, and it`s getting better and better.

The movie is like a crossing between Man on fire ( who I also recommend ), and Taken with Liam Neeson.

If you see this one....just forget about the language....the camerawork is stunning, there are some fightscenes you sit on the top of your chair.

This is from a moviecritic:

What made this movie into my favorite action movie in a long while is the execution of that basic plot. "This Man" manages to create just the right dark, gloomy mood to match the story and all the characters are believable. None of the scenes appear contrived or overly tear-jerker. Another vital aspect for an action movie is, of course, that the action sequences are very well done. The movie is quite graphic, but not gratuitously so or for its own sake such as in many a recent horror movie (the Saw series comes to mind).

I guess the movie could be likened to a good apple pie - certainly nothing revolutionary, in fact quite the staple of its genre, but who would want to turn down a really good apple pie with quality ingredients?

What I said before, forget about the language if you have a problem with that, just.....the story is good, the acting, but most of all, the action is very, very good and bloody.
