Sook-hee is a trained assassin who was born to kill. She was just a little girl when the training started in Yanbian, China. After the death of her mentor, when the chance of starting a new life was given to her, she came to South Korea as a government agent. They promised her that she will be free after ten years of service. So she begins her new life as a theatre actress. But soon two men Joong-sang and Hyun-soo appear in her new life. And she started to find deep dark secrets about her past.
It's promising when the first few minutes of a film delivers better action scenes than I've seen in at least a year. Holy crap. With some of the coolest fights in such a long way and a story which both has a pulsating tempo and patient for characters to grow a bit (though I would have liked a little bit more humor here), The Villainess is a mighty satisfactory experience. It invokes that special sort of gleefulness I remember getting from seeing Kill Bill (2003) for the first time. Skillful movie-making, a super cool femme fatale for a main character, slick presentation and jaw-dropping action makes this a film you really should give a chance if you're a fan of the genre.
Genre: Action/Drama
