The Nowhere Man


The Man from Nowhere, trailer USA (HD)
Cinema ad hoc

A grisly Korean crime thriller from 2010. Not only do we have your usual drug smugglers but we also have organ harvesters. Our hero was a special forces kind of guy until his wife got killed in a hit that was supposed to take him out as well. He survived and has become a bit of a recluse. His only 'friend' is a little girl, daughter of a single mother who works as a dancer in a nightclub. Mom sees an opportunity to make some quick money and we know how drug dealers hate getting ripped off so things go to hell pretty quickly.

The are Chinatowns in Korea (who'd a thunk it?). The drug dealers need translators. The Chinese mafia use little kids to transport drugs around town.

We saw this movie once before a long time ago. I sort of remembered bits and pieces, but most of it was all new.

AVclub has a synopsis.

Amazon  2 hours, in Korean with subtitles in English.
