Nation Movie Night - The Man from Nowhere

[Meikeru]

Okay nationers, I decided to host another movie night. The movie in question is, "The Man from Nowhere". The movie is from South Korea and was their top movie in 2010. I think I'll show the movie subbed, but if I can find great dub then I might roll with that instead.

The Man from Nowhere follows Tae-Silk (Won Bin/Liam), a former Korean Black-OP, as he tries to save a young girl (So-mi/Kim Sae-ron) and her heroin addict of a mother (Hyo-jeong/Kim Hyo-seo) after they get kidnapped by a gang when Hyo-jeong steals their heroin.

The movie is fairly similar to Liam Neeson's Taken, though from what I heard the plot is much better. Similar to Taken the beginning is a bit slower due to the plot being built up, but it speeds up after the 25 minute mark.
So to recap:
Liam Neeson=Tae-Silk
Liam's Daughter=So-Mi
Lenny=Hyo-jeong
Albanians=Korean Gang
The movie is 2 hours long. And due to an upcoming event we'll watch the movie two weeks from now on Saturday, February 25th 9/8c.

I'll make a thread on BR reminding you guys of it a week before.

Would you have any preference to subbed v dubbed?

[Cucurbita]

Would you have any preference to subbed v dubbed?

I'd personally prefer subbed. Dubbing live action for any genre other than comedy doesn't seem right.

Saturday? That puts me in a tight spot.

But I'll try to make it.

This movie is really amazing.

I love it a lot. I totally cried like...

Omg...

I don't like watching subbed movies. But... the dub looks kinda dub:

The beginning was okay I guess, the quality stuck out a bit though. It kinda went south fairly quickly after that though.

Not a huge fan of action movies, but I might give it a try. The preview made it out to be non-stop action with little story, but I'm hoping it's wrong.

[Claudia]

Oh yeah, before anybody asks where the OP went. ~ (http://mabination.com/threads/48970-Requesting-Bans)

Looks like a cool movie, but i'm not sure if i'll be around (vacation week).

[Kueh]

I will need this to be bumped or else I will forget.

Don't worry, I'll make a reminder thread in BR and bump that one everyday.
