South Korea's action packed "No Tears for the Dead" should've come to U.S.

NO TEARS FOR THE DEAD (2014). This is Director, Lee Jeong-Beom's, follow up to the Korean box office smash, "The Man From Nowhere" (2010). According to the Korean Film Biz Zone, "Dead" grabbed $4,268,407 at the foreign box office. It never opened in the U.S.

CJ Entertainment says, "Gon (Jang Dong-Gun) is an assassin-for-hire in the United States. A job goes terribly wrong and he begins feeling regret for everything that he has done. He is then hired for a job in South Korea. His next target is a woman (Kim Min-Hee) who recently lost her husband and daughter."

Gon's back story is covered in flashback seamlessly & he yearns for something better in his future. The life he has led has been violent. His past meets a change in his present situation & it is more violent than he imagined. It is an up hill battle with some incredible action sequences. A very good crime-action-thriller.
