Dayum! This looks good! 
I’ve been getting into Korean Films lately. It started from seeing a the film Go at the Montreal International Film Festival years ago. I really liked it so I was willing to see The Host. Now, I’m kinda hooked! I’m loving these films. They are fresh and so distinctive. They are Korean films and make no pretense to try to attract the American audience with pandering. Also, what I love about these films is that they about people of color. I sometimes get a bit sick of the leads in films always being white males.
The Man from Nowhere, starring Bin Won, is one hot action flick! I watched it streamed on Netflix. You can watch the whole thing for free on Hulu. It’s a thriller with heart. I feel for the little girl who was born into a situation that simply no kid should have to deal with. She feels unloved and alone. A cast away. Her one friend is the pawnshop owner downstairs who she calls “Ajeossi” which I think means “Mister” because she doesn’t know his name. And when our hero--who likes the child very much--finds himself cast as one of the many who have failed this child, he feels the need to fix this.
Ridley Scott directs it and it stars Idris Elba (Luther and The Wire), Noomi Rapace (of the Dragon Tattoo Films), Charlize Theron (Monster, Hancock), Guy Pearce (of everything awesome!)
... and I have faith that Idris will make it to see the end!!
Such a cool, fun movie. And the lead star looks and acts just like a young Denzel Washington. If you haven’t seen this movie go go go go! It is friggin’ off the hook!
