"The Old Woman With The Knife" starring Lee Hye-young and Kim Sung-cheol.
Directed by Min Kyu-dong.

A once-feared retired assassin, Hornclaw,
and a shadow from her past now hunting her.
A story where the past and present collide, igniting tension and deep emotion.

The story?
At first, I thought it would be predictable—
But it’s not, at all.
A fresh narrative like nothing I’ve seen before,
with an incredibly tight and meticulous script.

The action?
Lee Hye-young may have had a stunt double in parts,
but her action scenes feel genuine and powerful.
Kim Sung-cheol fully immerses himself in the role—
from emotions to gaze to action—every detail is convincing.

The locations are stunning.
Places rarely seen in Korean cinema,
captured beautifully and with precision.

This is not just an action film.
It’s a psychological and emotional battle,
woven with past mistakes and maternal love.

The final action sequence?
Easily one of the best in Korean film history.

And this story—
I’d be disappointed if it ends here.
Young Hornclaw’s younger years deserve a prequel or spin-off. I’d absolutely watch that.

Action. Suspense. Emotion. Love.
It has it all.
“The Old Woman With The Knife” is a must-watch.
