Nation Movie Night - The Man from Nowhere

• Meikeru wrote on 2012-02-11 01:35
  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.
  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]So to recap:
  Liam Neeson=Tae-Silk
  Liam's Daughter=So-Mi
  Lenny=Hyo-jeong
  Albanians=Korean Gang[/SPOILER]
  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?

  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.

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

  Dubbed is a bit weird...

  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.

  Oh yeah, before anybody asks where the OP went. ~
  
  Looks like a cool movie, but i'm not sure if i'll be around (vacation week).
