Actor Won Bin [Mother and Taegukgi] clearly knows how to market his new film The Man From Nowhere to the ladies so he released a couple pics of him topless sporting sporting abs that could crush walnuts. I have countered those pics - keeping the rest of us mere mortal men in mind - with a collection of other images from the film where he's not so... intimidating. I must say though, after reading the synopsis below I am very intrigued to see how this turns out.
An ex-special agent CHA Tae-sik's only connection to the rest of the world is a little girl, So-mi, who lives nearby. So-mi's mother, Hyo-jeong smuggles drugs from a drug trafficking organization and entrusts Tae-sik with the product, without letting him know. When the traffickers find out they kidnap both Hyo-jeong and So-mi. Mistaking Tae-sik for another mule, the brothers that lead the gang promise to release Hyo-jeong and So-mi if Tae-sik makes a delivery for them. After much consideration, Tae-sik makes the decision to face the outside world in order to rescue So-mi. At the same time, Hyo-jeong's disemboweled body is discovered, and Tae-sik realizes that So-mi's life may also be in danger. In the process, he discovers that their drug ring operates around kidnapped children. Stumbling upon a factory where the brothers have children's organs removed to accommodate the drugs, Tae-sik rescues one child just before surgery and becomes enraged at the prospect So-mi may already be dead. Tae-sik prepares for a battle with Man-sik and Jong-sik, putting his own life at risk.The Man From Nowhere just wrapped up principle photography yesterday and is due out in Korea in August.
