The Man From Nowhere-Jeong-beom Lee I thought this movie was pretty crappy, really. Anything the movie has to offer has been done much better elsewhere. Parts of the movie put me in mind of the much better movie
The Chaser. The protagonist must save a wayward mother and her offspring. A friendship develops between child and protagonist. It's handled with much heavy-handedness and manipulation where in
The Chaser, it felt a lot more genuine.
Then there is the done-to-death storyline. The man from nowhere is actually an ex-military secret ops super badass. He has a tragic past.
WARNING: "Spoiler" spoilers below
They killed his wife and unborn child just as he is coming out of a baby store. Imagine that.

There is another super badass on the opposing team and I was a little intrigued by his character, but they don't do anything special with him.
With not a lot to interest me, I waited all movie for the showdown between the kinda hot super badass good guy and the way hotter super badass bad guy. Even that was pretty anti-climatic.
I was going to criticize the actor for being too young to play his part. I looked his age up and he was born in 1977, so scratch that. I will criticize his boy band haircut though. Thank god he cuts it.
