Synopsis
This Korean actioner is one of the few featuring a female protagonist. Kim Ok-bin is Sook-hee, an assassin trained by criminals from childhood. Long swearing revenge for her father’s murder, she is derailed by her husband/mentor’s slaying. Sook-hee slaughters those responsible, is caught by authorities, and forced into an all-female assassin school. Carrying her husband’s child, Sook-hee raises her daughter there. Upon graduation, she goes undercover as an actress. When a man from the past reemerges and another enters her present, Sook-hee’s two lives collide, revealing her a pawn on both sides of the law. A unique neo-noir, its heroine’s contested identity functions as the site where hegemonic femininities implode, as she frees herself from patriarchal structures governing her life.
