Review of The Man from Nowhere (2010) by Daisy M — 29 Aug 2011
The Man from Nowhere was not an original movie, it reminds me of Leon the Professional or Man on Fire, but where it was not necessarily that impressive in its story, it was loaded with great action sequences, very bloody scenes and enough suspenseful moments to provide a strong degree of entertainment to make up for its flaws.
Besides the melodrama, there were too many exaggerated gangster characters, which made it kind of confusing who was who.The action itself was quite good, very brutal, bloody and tense, and somehow it remained interesting, despite the fact that Wong Bing;s character was pretty much beating anyone's ass, he came across.
Korean actor, Won Bin carried the movie pretty well although his character did not require a lot of acting, except for the fighting scenes. It was not a movie that aimed to show all elements of cinematic storytelling, but it was more concentrated for the action thriller genre.
The story was simple and here and there it had its flaws but it held the logically and even provides a few unexpected twists.
