Kill Boksoon

This is one of the write ups I was very behind on -- Kill Boksoon. I'd wanted to see the movie for ages: assassin mom of a teenage daughter, and the actress from Crash Course in Romance (which could not be any more different from this character).

It's got a bit of a John Wick vibe with the world building around the assassins--she's another one that's been in it since she was young. It's slick and stylishly gritty, though with a Korean-vibe. Not Kdrama exactly, but I think it helps if you've watched them to catch some of the nuance.

I realise as I am typing this up that I don't want to rehash the plot. It's not groundbreaking, but it's solid. I very much enjoyed all the actors and the action sequences. It was a hoot to see Jeon Do-yeon in such a different kind of part after seeing her in a rom-com, though I think she does more of this kind of stuff than the other.

I'd recommend it. I enjoyed it. I would watch it again someday.
