Also to anyone who likes these sort of male protagonists, I would suggest the Chinese movie Better days. There's a reason why it was nominated for the Oscars. It's got a really nice male lead. The kind you'd be scared of but is actually a gentleman. And the acting...was just mind blowing. But it can get pretty scary in parts (didn't bother me since I watch stuff like Voice, Sweet Home, The Guest, Taxi driver, The devil judge, Signal, Beyond Evil, less than evil, Stranger, Kingdom, tell me what you saw).
but fair warning to those who might not be used to it, the bullying gets pretty intense.
