Description

Bloody revenge is at the heart of this stylish, kinetic action-thriller that gives a welcome shot of adrenaline to the classic femme fatale story. Honed from childhood into a merciless killing machine by a criminal organization, assassin Sook-hee is recruited as a sleeper agent with the promise of freedom after ten years of service - and she jumps at the chance for a normal life. But soon enough, secrets from her past destroy everything she's worked for, and now nobody can stand in her way as she embarks on a roaring rampage of revenge.

    Conspiracies, guns, tears (a lot if you’re a crier like yours truly), car chases, swords, guns again. I could watch this over and over
  • I wanted to like it...

    I was really looking forward to this film and I really wanted to like it. But unfortunately the plot is absolutely incomprehensible - I gave up even trying to understand what was going on about halfway through. Furthermore, if you are watching this for the action you can just watch the trailer and skip the movie altogether because viturally all of the action that's in the movie is included in the trailer. There is no additional action sequences in the movie that are not present in the trailer.
  • Great movie

    Camera work is superb and the plot gets more twisted than ever. A true contender for one of the best action films of the decade!
  • The Villainess knocked my socks off!

    If high speed video game, anime inspired action/violence is your thing (Dredd 2012 - John Wick) it doesn't get better then this. The cinematography was superb, almost creating 3-D effects by POV camera manipulation. The plot was thick with characters played by more then one actor with a non-linear story presentation that was interspersed with action sequences that made the fight scenes special. The film avoided a numbing non-stop onslaught of destruction. It took two viewings for me to fully sort the story out, but the second viewing was even more enjoyable then the first.
