In Seoul, South Korea, the young woman Sook-hee (Kim Ok-bin) breaks in a fortress of a dangerous gang alone and kills all the gangsters. She is arrested by the police and sent to a secret facility of an organization that trains assassins commanded by Chief Kwon (Seo-hyeong Kim). Sook-hee is pregnant and has a daughter that is raised in the facility. She is trained as a stage actress and assassin, and Chief Kwon promises her that she will be free with a good allowance after ten-year service. Meanwhile, the agent Hyun-soo (Jun Sung), who is in charge to observe her, has a crush on her. In flashbacks, Sook-hee recalls her previous life, when her father and her mentor and husband Joong-sang (Shin Ha-kyun) were murdered. When Sook-hee is released to start her new life, she learns dark secrets from her past.
"Aknyeo", a.k.a. "The Villainess", is a full of action South Korean movie with great scenes. Unfortunately the no chronological screenplay is confused and the film starts like a videogame with no explanations or development of characters. On fragments like in "Memento", the viewer is introduced into the past of the lead character Sook-hee. In addition the conclusion is not good. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "A Vilã" ("The Villainess")
