Helmer Lee Jeong-beom shows a flair for action sequences, squeezing tension out of every fight scene choregraphed by Park Jung-ryul.

Yet more proof of the astonishing vigour and inventiveness of current Korean genre cinema.

The man might be from nowhere but this film could only come from Korea, the land of a million stories of revenge.

The Man From Nowhere is a tremendously gratifying action flick for anyone hungering for a more emotionally driven thrill ride.

6/10

Since the film is primarily an actioner, several kung fu moments are thrown in for good measure (but not necessity).

3/5

The Man From Nowhere is relatively solid throughout and despite its general lack of originality it is an entertaining and gripping film with assured direction and excellent central performances.

A very sad and tragic story. Good thing that the guy from the goons themselves saved the little girl but he died without saying anything about it...

Amazing film. Took me 15 years to watch it because it looked very intense and it definitely is. Very emotional ending. The film is ultra violent but builds up to the violence in a realistic way. One of the best films I have ever seen. Be prepared for emotional situations and ultra violence

I can't get over some of the hairstyles from this era, I felt incredibly relieved to see the protagonist finally cut his hair, but aside from this it's action packed, stylish, and feels like a movie for people who were fans of Liam Neeson's Taken.
