Local film industry looks to violent films for rebound1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThree violent local films set to open later this month are cracking knuckles and sharpening knives, aiming to drag their Hollywood competition into a bloody fight to reclaim some of the summer box office spoils. First to challenge Salt and Inception at the box office is Won Bin’s blood soaked revenge thriller The Man from Nowhere, scheduled for an August 4 release.
The ultra-violent picture directed by Lee Jung-beom has garnered plenty of publicity for leading man Won Bin shedding his squeaky-clean image in favor of a role as a merciless killer, hell bent on bringing terror upon the criminal underworld.
