The Man From Nowhere (A-jeo-ssi)
(login to rate)
An action-packed film, THE MAN FROM NOWHERE is about Cha Tae-shik, an ex-special agent whose vendetta against the Chinese mafia presence in South Korea is fueled by the kidnapping of his young, innocent neighbor So-mi. Tae-shik is literally a man from nowhere, hiding away as a small pawnshop owner after the tragic death of his wife and unborn child. The only person he has any connection with anymore is So-mi, the sweet and curious neglected daughter of a woman who winds up stealing drugs from the wrong people. When the drug dealers come looking for their goods, they kidnap So-mi, causing Tae-shik to begin a vengeful, violent struggle to rescue her. When an agreement he makes with the drug dealers (in order to get So-mi back) goes terribly wrong, Tae-shik winds up caught in the middle of a drug war between dueling cartels. But these criminals don’t know who they’re dealing with, and Tae-shik leaves a bloody trail behind him as he searches for the little girl. The hunt only becomes more desperate when Tae-shik learns that the Chinese mafia are not only dealing drugs, but also harvesting the organs of their victims, including small children. This film is a suspenseful thriller full of innovative camera-work and beautifully choreographed martial arts. – M.M.

A great action film with a great story. The film is shot and acted well – and there’s nothing to say negative about this film, which offers a fun ride
Really good movie. Lots of great fight scenes. You have to check out the knife fight, worth the ticket price.
