Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

paulclaassen Sae-ron Kim is not only precious, but also brilliant in her role, as is Bin Won as the ex-black operations soldier/pawnshop keeper. The film so effectively depicts the lengths criminals will go to for money it makes one shudder to think this actually does happen in real life. Filled with so much feeling and emotion, this action -packed thriller was a delight to watch - and what a beautiful ending!

caseyzhang All the characters were written in a very basic manner - no one stops to make logical decisions. People on similar sides of the conflict don't communicate, which may make the movie more dramatic, but instead l was left bewildered at why people were doing what they were doing.On the plus side, the acting was really good - especially the daughter So Mi and the main character.

Aaron Gertler "The Man From Nowhere" has been compared to "The Professional", but in this case, the killer-child relationship is mostly at a distance, without much time for a bond to develop beyond cliches about bad mothers and cool guys who can't display positive emotions. The movie has lots of great individual moments involving knives, tasers, bathrooms, and driving ranges, but most of the characters (including our protagonist) are too cliched to take us beyond a collection of cool action shots. The police subplot slows the film dramatically (this would've been better at 90 minutes, with the cops gone almost completely), and the ending is totally unsatisfying. Skip it unless you're specifically into Korean action thrillers.

Weaboo Hero For me there are a bunch of films that leave an impression later after soaking in the scenes and pondering on them for a while. Most of blockbuster films usually have one (or more) notes that comes off wrong and ruins the entire orchestra, leaving a bad taste and wishing I could just forget it forever. Some films have less spikes and are easier to watch without getting overtly jolted. Some really have a nice overall tune that I would probably go as far to say I would purchase the Blu-ray film to support the creators. Then there are some really well made films that fit the bill perfectly and even surprise when you least expect it. Yup you guessed this film is just great from beginning to end. The highlights are the realistic fighting scenes that use real world gravity, and the camera shots that are crystal clear. The film is raw and exposes real world problems like drugs, prostitution and child exploitation. Would be a 10/10 but in reality it's a 9.5/10 due to the extreme violence that our hero retorts to for immediate justice. Also, the hero persona more than likely caters to an Asian market while in the west it may seem different. Overall, this film needs to be played in theaters and needs some awards so that a wider audience may praise it and we may all be jolly in agreement.
