... View MoreCha- tae sik is the man from nowhere and is a introvert special ops agent who has been running a pawn shop for years. A young girl so-mi, tries to befriend him but he does not confide in her presence, but little does he know that her mom is a stripper and is not much of a father figure to so-mi. Furthermore, the Chinese mafia and South Korean gangs trade drugs and tapper with Organ harvesting. So-mi's mother takes heroin from the gang and they both get kidnapped for messing with the wrong people. Hence, Cha-tae sik tries to save them. Moreover the Korean gang calls Cha-tae sik in order to settle a dispute against the Chinese mafia and if he does this, Cha-tae sik will receive so-mi and her mother back safely. However, Chae- tae sik is deceived and the Koreans kill the mother anyways and harvest her organs for sale and turn her daughter into a drug ant (child drug trafficking). That is why i love this film so much because it does not sugar coat anything or give anybody the Hollywood hope that is really looking for, it exploits the raw and cruel nature of humans using others to their advantage and not caring. A growing number of South Koreans are turning to the illegal websites and black markets to advertise the sale of their organs in order to overcome financial challenges and or debt. Furthermore, police are batting an eye away from the illegal organ harvesting and illegal organ trafficking is clearly on the rise, arrests relating to the practice have decreased, showing an unwillingness on the part of police authorities to crack down on the problem. Along with economic hardship, lack of donors in the country is also contributing to the rise in illegal organ trafficking, because the dependent population of men and women is so high (men and women ages 16 - 64) there is a lack of organ donors to support those in the home country of south Korea since the youth population is so small. Thought provoking question: What would you do if someone offered to give you 50,000,000 dollars for your organ knowing that your chances of survival are low due to the organ you are giving up is a vital organ the helps you function with your everyday activities?
... View MoreI liked the movie and the actions scenes were entertaining. The main character Cha Tae- sik has a sad make story and that is why I feel he wanted to save So-mi, a little girl and his only friend. However, there was a big plot hole in the story. There was a scene they put So-mi to sleep with drugs and it looks as if they are about to remove her eyes, but they later showed us that they removed someone else's eyes. Even though I was happy to see her alive, I was upset to how So-mi was conveniently free, with no one else around her, at the moment Cha Tae-sik was about to kill him self. Though the movie is already two hours long, I felt that they could have made it a little longer to explain how So-mi got free.
... View MoreThe movie, The Man from Nowhere is one of the best movies I have seen in the past year, that has to do with a foreign film. I guess it had something to do with all of the action, but I just really enjoyed watching it. There are a few moments where you have to think about it and try to come to a reality where something would actually take place. Yet, due to the main character's past and everything that he has gone through, it is really hard to tell just why he does everything that he does. To start it off, I will go with the relationship between the man and the prostitute's daughter. There will be many spoilers, but to carry on with my point... There are many different reasons for why the man chases after the girl after she is taken away due to her mother's involvement with the drug ring is South Korea. Etc... Anyway, I believe he does this due to the loss of his daughter and his wife. As they were taken away so abruptly, he never had a chance to save them. Yet, now he actually does have a chance to save the little girl that he somewhat sees his wife/daughter in. Despite this, the movie puts a view on the trafficking of body parts and the use of children. As no one would suspect a child to do anything harmful. They use this to their edge and due to that it is a huge problem. This movie is a 9 out of 10. I would recommend anyone watches it.
