Amid the darkness of drugs, gangs, and human exploitation, young and bubbly So-mi (Sae-ron Kim) is a ray of light. Her single mother, a dancer and heroin user, warns So-mi to stay away from their quiet, reclusive neighbor, Tae-sik (Won Bin), but to no avail; the two seem to share a special bond, both being ostracized, troubled, and judged in their own ways. When So-mi’s mother becomes wrapped up in a drug deal gone wrong, she and her daughter are taken captive by a vicious gang that trades in harvested organs.

Tae-sik, haunted by his past life as a highly-trained government operative, makes it his mission to rescue his only friend, So-mi, while blurring the line between justice and vengeance. Now a fugitive wanted by the police, he must employ all of his cunning and deadly skills to track down So-mi’s ruthless captors, whatever the cost.

The Man from Nowhere (2010), by director Jeong-beom Lee, was a huge critical and commercial success in South Korea; it combines elements of the traditional gangster flick with aspects of thriller, action, and gritty police films.

PLEASE NOTE: this film is rated R and intended for mature audiences only due to graphic violence, adult language, sexual scenes, partial nudity, and drug use. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.

Doors open at 6:00 pm for a selection of light Korean snacks. The film (119 minutes) will begin promptly at 6:30 pm. This event is part of the Korean Cultural Center's Korean Cinema Series, presenting free bi-monthly film screenings. All films are presented in Korean with English subtitles.
