The Man from Nowhere / 아저씨(Ahjussi)
(Lee Jeong-beom - 2010)

This is the second Won
Bin movie I’ve watched. The first one is MOTHER, a splendid movie.
PLOT:
The movie revolves around a loner man. Self employed
himself in a pawnshop he built in his apartment; he lived a motionless life and
ignores his surroundings. His only interaction wasmostly with So Mi, a thieving
little girl, daughter of his neighboring junkie woman. Got So Mi out of trouble
several times made him developed a nurturing nature towards her.
Trouble begins when So Mi found her mom tied up and battered
by a group of guys from a big chain of criminal organization. The guys kidnap So Mi
and they hunt the loner man for something So Mi’s mother pawned in his shop. Defending
his life and provoked, the man carry out a survival skill that is only
possessed by selected and highly trained man.
As the fight to seek the answer proceeds, bits by bits of
the loner man’s past life flashes and opened; on why he leads a static life and
what triggered him to risk his life to save So Mi.
NOTES:
Reading the reviews, it thought this movie was a restoration
of Leon: The Professional, and it proves me wrong.
Apart from the nasty wig I have to deal with for more than half
the duration, Ahjussi delivered my expectation from a South Korean movie well.
Tactical storytelling, fast paced sequence, and of course, proper tearjerker
scene.
I really enjoyed the fast, graphic and tight close combats
(Won Bin was fighting with a watchamacalit short and stout knife) AND the scene
where he jumped out of the window and the camera followed. I repeat that scene
for about four times before finally moving on.
Another goodie from this movie, check the official
soundtrack “Dear” by Mad Soul Child.
You can get this movie at 1o8o.
