About
If you like revenge thrillers with harsh fights and a heartfelt rescue mission, The Man from Nowhere will likely hit hard; Not for you if you want nonstop action from the start or prefer lighter, less melodramatic tone like John Wick: Chapter 2.
Pros: intense revenge drive; brutal action; strong emotions | Cons: slow first half; off-screen fights; melodramatic moments
