Kill Boksoon

Awesome fight choreography, visual - special effects and many moments in the score section. Aside that a semi-incomprehensible lady invincible mumbo that is stretched for over two hours.

It is enjoyable and cringey at the same time, nice for listening to Hangul with its dramatic intonations and feast on the nice visually polished production value and yummy Korean cuisine with a lot of penchant to soy products.

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.

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.

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.
