The Man From Nowhere

I sometimes have a hard time telling Asian men apart. Not in real life mind you, I work with plenty of Asian males, but in movies sometimes it is hard. I struggled at times to follow who was who in Infernal Affairs due to this fact... and yes, I know one of them even had facial hair, but I still struggled! I am glad that was not the case in this movie.

My observations:
1. Movies should have more fights in bathroom stalls where a dead woman is lying on the floor.
2. The jump out of the window with the camera following was pretty sweet. Not sure I have seen an action shot like that before.
3. Why did the one guy speak English? I understand that he was American, but he could obviously speak Korean as well. I did not get that.
4. The guy who got shot at the end of the movie made me think of Pulp Fiction

Alright, good subtitled action movie overall. 4/5 stars.
