Detetive Hong Gil Dong: Cidade Perdida (2016)

They're both about men who seemingly don't care about anything slowly but surely starting to care about children that aren't related to them. Though in 'phantom detective' the main characters starts caring about two sisters, whilst in 'the man from nowhere' he starts caring about one little girl.

Plot-wise these movies are nothing alike. I would say that 'phantom detective' has a lighter tone than 'the man from nowhere', though.

A little girl involve, adult male was awkward and refuse responsible first but gave in. Adult guidance, protection, co existing, co dependent.

Deep, revenge, softhearted villain, great main actor, crime, action, wish the bad guy would just die immediately. Bad leader always involve the top official.
