The Man From Nowhere 

(directed by Lee Jeong-Boem)


It is an South-Korean movie which takes place in South Korea's capital Seoul. It highlights the shady sides of the country including drug dealing and organ trafficking.

Cha Tae-sik (Won Bin) was one of the best agents in the South Korean intelligence service. But after an attack on him, which unfortunately killed his pregnant wife, he retired embittered and disillusioned back from the agent business. Now he ekes out his existence by running a pawn shop. No one was allowed to come too close to him as his loss is still very painful. Only the nine-year old So-Mi (Kim Sae-Ron), whose mother is trapped in a vicious criminal, penetrates through to him. As So-Mi and her mother one day come to the attention rapacious drug traffickers, Tae-sik rescues So-Mi and her mother by scaring the criminal gang off by all the rules of agents art. With his intervention, however, he has stirred up a hornet's nest, which is now aware of him and his little world. In addition to the "small" criminal gang, he has now to deal with the entire organ trade mafia on the scene, which kidnapped So-Mi and murdered her mother. Too much is too much, therefore Tae-Sik puts the car in gear and pulls avenger looking for So-Mi a trail of blood through the underworld...

Well, I'm not going to tell you the end of the film because it is worth to watch it and to see what is happening and sometimes you'll be surprised. It is very touching to see that a person who is filled with bitterness is able to build up a relationship/friendship again and tries to protect them as good as it is possible.
