This is about crime mystery thriller.

This movie is not a big movie. And there aren't many action scenes. The movie starts moving in the middle. But still watchable. I watched without getting bored. I recommend you to watch.

It is true that it is a predictable movie. But it's a movie that doesn't have many actors.

This movie that makes you watch it even though it has some gaps. Classical elements from Asian films are frequently featured in the film.

Even though I don't find the performance of the lead actor perfect, I think he played very well. I like him.

Overall, the movie deserves at least 6 out of ten. Although it is a classic, I can easily give it a 7 because it made me watch and is my favorite actor.

Despite the thrilling and mysterious start, the movie seem to lose traction and direction midway through. The Villager becomes fairly dull and predictable as it rolls forward--relying heavily on the theme of 'power of the rich and connected' in its main plot. The majority of the mystery relied on the passing of baton between who the culprit is--even though it doesn't really matter as the culprits are related. It also doesn't help that all the characters are very flat and thus not a lot of depth are added to the movie.

Overall, fairly forgettable movie but possibly enjoyable for those looking for some entertainment in a semi-mysterious action flick.

An easy flowing crime mystery thriller.

Not sure why some reviews here are so harsh, during the whole movie I wasn't bored a single second, also there are a few very funny witty humorous scenes.

8/10 , totally recommend.

I get it: 80% of the times, Korean movies always have some kind of comedy-relief in the middle of their plot. Even if it's tagged as an action, mystery and/or crime. And I have nothing against it.

However, omitting any to those humorous moments or characters in the genre, trailer, storyline and/or poster it is seriously misleading., and it's starting to get on my nerves.

Can we (and the industry) start adding «comedy» or a similar tag to this kind of movies and dramas? Because, if you don't, and then see «The Man from Nowhere» as a recommendation, then I am expecting a serious, action filled kind of movie, and this was not it - even though Ma Dong Seok always kicks ass.

Not much of a mystery, pretty predictable story. Usually korean thriller movies add huge amount of suspense but this one was pretty blunt.
