"Kill Boksoon" - (Netflix Movie)





"Kill Boksoon" made its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival's Special section, ahead of its worldwide launch on Netflix on March 31.

 

The upcoming Netflix movie "Kill Boksoon" revolves around a legendary female assassin, but thriller and witty drama is of a mother's desperate efforts to find work-life balance between killer and mother.

 

'Cannes' best actress winner 'Jeon Do-yeon' stars as 'Gil Boksoon', a top assassin who leads a double life as a mother to a teenage daughter, 'Jae-young' (Kim Si-a), going through a turbulent adolescence.

 

‘Gil Boksoon' has never missed a target and is the highest-paid contract killer in "MK Ent", an assassination company established by 'Cha Min-kyu' (Seol Kyung-gu). She knows how to do an impeccable job: whether it's killing a person, a group of gangs or staging a suicide with whatever is available.

 

At home, she is an ordinary mother who tries but often fails to connect with her daughter, who confessed to being a lesbian and having trouble at her elite private school.

 

For 'Gill Boksoon', parenting is harder than her highly risky job, saying, "It is simple to kill a person, compared with raising a child."

 

Feeling contradictory emotions around motherhood, she refuses to complete her assigned mission and becomes the prime target of fellow assassins. She ends up in a final battle in which the last person standing survives.

 

Director 'Byun Sung-hyun', who showed unfolds the female assassin's double life story with choreographed fight scenes and artistic uses of computer-generated imagery.
