Re: Ajeossi [The Man from Nowhere]
It's a very generic story (Léon meets Man on Fire meets Taken and so on and so forth), but it's made with impressive style and precision. The action in particular is superbly conceived and crafted. The knife fight with the P.O.V. shots? Come on. Awesome. The lead actor (Won Bin) does the whole Jason Bourne/strong-silent/tortured-badass bit well enough.
The last 15 or so minutes were a drag, though. -Two- hugs, one in glorious, sun-dappled slow motion. Any real poignancy was obliterated by the forced, labored feel-good applause fodder.
