One of the reasons I love foreign films so much is that they are so much better than the majority of the mindless drivel coming out of Hollywood. That’s not to say there isn’t as much in the foreign market, I’m sure there are a ton of films out there that are just plain awful that I never find out about.

So maybe the social filter of the internet only allows the better foreign films to bubble up to the point where I find out about them.

Case in point is the Korean film, The Man from Nowhere (trailer). Based on awesome word of mouth from playing FantasticFest and friends from the Asian Film Festival of Dallas, it seemed like this was a film worth catching when it surprisingly showed up at the Grapevine Mills AMC theater this week.

It was.

And while it’s not the most original film in the world, it still blows away most films I’ve seen this year and contains one of the best knife fights I think I’ve ever seen.

Really good film. Awesome action. More like this please.
