8/10
Step aside, Luc Besson, that's how a female assassin should be.

Most action movies lack either a good ending or a well written story. But The Villainess has something special going on inside. This movie can't be compared to regular Hollywood blockbusters we see every year. I personally prefer this movie over John Wick trilogy. I'm sorry but I'm fallen in love with The Villainess. Cinematography and directing is god tier. Even the opening scene can make you fall in love with the movie. The angles are beautiful. A wonderful piece of art with a satsfying ending, an easy to understand but not well processed story.

Yes, we see this story maybe a million times, but everytime someone write a vengeance story like this, it somehow works. As long as it's well written and well directed, I'm okay with that.

And, my god, Kim Ok-bin. This woman even looks wonderful when her face covered with blood. A must see action adventure even if you're not fond of action movies.
