Review 4K Movie

The Old Woman with the Knife is held up by Lee-Hye-yeong and Kim Sung-cheol's performances, a few bloody action sequences and a sentimental ending that hits the right notes.

The plot follows a legendary assassin named Hornclaw, and a young-brutal-mysterious new recruit, Bullfight. Hornclaw is fighting the fact that she can't do what she used to, and the rash provocations of the new recruit Bullfight throughout the movie. All the while diving into Hornclaws past through interspersed flash backs.

The plot is a bit overcomplicated throughout and I wish more time was built explaining a few more of the convoluted relationships. However, the ending was pretty good and wrapped the movie up well.

There is not a ton of action but what we do get is competent enough and the finale was fun to watch with a good measure of heart thrown in. If you're looking for a solid cat and mouse thriller with great performances I think you will find something to enjoy in The Old Woman with the Knife.
