The exciting action movie that influenced Keanu Reeves’ popular action persona is now available on Tubi and can be watched for free. This classic film is the latest addition from Well Go USA Entertainment – the studio known for hits like Triple Threat, Train to Busan, and the Ip Man series – which focuses on bringing great action, martial arts, and independent films to North American audiences. And this time, they’ve really delivered!
This South Korean action film draws inspiration from movies like John Wick and Taken, telling the story of a quiet pawnshop owner with a hidden past. When a young girl is kidnapped, he’s forced to use his skills to rescue her. Although the premise might seem similar to other action films, The Man from Nowhere stands out with its excellent execution, earning impressive scores of 100% from critics and 90% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.
Lee Jeong-beom wrote and directed the film The Man from Nowhere, which features Won Bin, Kim Sae-ron, Kim Hee-won, Kim Sung-oh, and Kim Tae-hoon. Here’s a summary of the story…
Cha Tae-shik, a former secret agent, lives a quiet life connected only to his young neighbor, So-mi. Unbeknownst to him, So-mi’s mother is involved in drug smuggling and secretly asks Tae-shik to hold onto a package. When the drug traffickers discover the smuggling operation, they kidnap both the mother and So-mi, forcing Tae-shik to return to his dangerous past to find So-mi.
Desperate to find So-mi, Tae-shik makes a deal with a dangerous criminal organization. As the police start pursuing him, and with the mob also hunting him down, Tae-shik races against time to locate So-mi, all while secrets from his past begin to surface.

Considered one of the best action films in recent years, The Man from Nowhere stands out for its mysterious lead character and intense action. It was a major inspiration for John Wick, with director Chad Stahelski specifically citing its minimalist style and striking visuals, alongside Park Chan-wook’s The Vengeance Trilogy, as key influences. Stahelski was once attached to direct an American remake of The Man from Nowhere, but that project hasn’t materialized. He’s currently focused on bringing back the Highlander franchise with Henry Cavill.
Action movie fans are excited that The Man from Nowhere is now available to stream for free. Many are predicting it will be an emotional experience, with one person joking about the tears to come. Others are calling it a classic and one of the best Korean action films ever made, and strongly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the genre.
