<아저씨> 'The Man From Nowhere' Movie Review

 

  <The Man From Nowhere> is still a very hot film and considered as Won Bin's best movie ever. Frankly, the plot is not so unique. A story about a young girl and a man who fights to protect her. It is such a cliché and yet, there was something definitely different about it. 

  Tae-sik is a special agent whose life turns into a mess after his wife died tragically. He cuts off all ties and begins  running a pawnshop. There he meets Somi, a young girl who has no one to rely on. She wants to rely on him, but Tae-sik ignores her. However, when Somi is kidnapped by human traffickers, he desperately begins the search for her.

  This movie is mostly remembered by its famous scene where Won Bin shaves his head before hunting down the men who took Somi (as seen in the picture above). But I remember the movie more by it's last fight scene. I was totally mesmerized by the beauty of it. It might come across as odd since there is blood everywhere, but the way the camera captured the moment was so beautiful that it made me change my perspective of violent action scenes. I realized that not all action scenes are the same, and that some can really be one of a kind. Becoming a radiant masterpiece.

Review: Unclichéd bloodshed.
