Boksoon debe morir

I don't understand how people could give this movie a 10/10. The action is great, no doubt. But the storyline is weak, far-fetched and illogical. They trivialized murder. They kill for no reason, yet, take the moral high-ground as and when they please.

Please people, when you write a review, at least be honest. Don't just give it a 10 because i like this actor, or that actor.

Truth be told, this movie is complete and utter nonsense. The fights and choreography were the only things outstanding in this movie.

Watch it if you have the time, or if you're learning Korean. Otherwise, avoid it. It's an action movie void of meaning and substance.

Kill book-soon is another great korean action movie with some hints of thriller thrown in for good measure. This movie centres on a woman named bok soon, played by jean do yeon. She is pretty good in her role and comes off well as the innocent movie that is also hiding a secret, she is actually a hitwoman for hire. From the start of the movie we know what we arein far as this powerful assasin eleminates her first target. The cinemotogrpahy is reallt well done and the way the fighting is coreographed is done in a good way where you can follow the action as the camera does. Its pretty violent too and works well. Overall kill bok soon is another great netflix original with a good mix of action and a little bit of comedy in there too.

Watched on a whim without expectations and was thoroughly impressed.

Takes you back to the days of the classic early 2000s Korean crime/action genre. If you enjoyed "A bittersweet life", "The man from nowhere", "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance" or even the much grittier "Old Boy" then you will enjoy this film like I did.

Convincing world building, a brilliant cast mixed with stylish action scenes and a dash of humor/heartache.

Made me sign in to this IMDB account of which I haven't touched in 9 years to leave a positive review to try and right the injustice of the current 6.8 rating.

Worthy of your time.

I enjoyed the movie. Very well directed and acted. I found the ratings and reviews of this movie are quite unique. The current rating is in the range 6~7 but there are few who scored 6~7 but one third scored very low and the two third scored very high (including me) and the average is that.

I think some people may criticize the movie for its stereotype, typical or cliche. But I don't get the bad reviews criticizing its improbable story or violence. Hey, this is not a suspense nor a drama. It's a dark black comedy, homage to Tarantino movies. An Asian variation of Kill Bill. Fair ratings should be based on the level of completion of the movie itself, not by the personal preference of special genre.

It's really about an 8.5 for me, but like others, I felt the need to aid in getting this movie more appropriately rated.

What keeps it from being a full 10 for me was the length, a somewhat dissatisfying ending, and a not fully explained flashback scene.

But what it did well, it did very well indeed. The fight scenes were absolutely outstandingly choreographed and filmed. The angst between mother and daughter was realistic. The irony of honor and rules being part of an assassin's "moral" code was breathtaking in its absurdity, but the film still manages to convince you of the sincerity of their convictions, even as you disagree with them.

So please give this movie a fair shot. I probably won't watch it again, as gore isn't usually my thing. But it is a movie worth seeing for some amazing acting, fight scenes, complex characters living double lives, and the thing I loved the most was seeing a middle aged woman be attractive, strong, and portray such depth.
