Directed by a former stuntman, The Villainess revels in unhinged scenes of wholesale slaughter, as trained female assassin Sook-hee rips through a cadre of killers with little more than a pair of heels and a Samurai sword. But the plot also takes some unexpected twists, focusing on the heroine’s efforts to establish a relationship with her young daughter. Who would have thought that a blood-spattered South Korean action flick would also be a tribute to motherhood?
