If Hollywood ever goes through on that American remake of “The Man from Nowhere”, this is my suggested fancast:
Plot (just as a refresher): A quiet pawnshop keeper with a violent past takes on a drug-and-organ trafficking ring in hope of saving the child who is his only friend.
Changes for the American version:
* Setting moved to New York City
* Villains changed from a South Korean mob to an Irish-American mob
* The “man from nowhere” is now a highly decorated, ex-CIA agent who retired after his pregnant wife was killed by a hitman
