The Villainess is an action film that simultaneously echoes the spirit of 90s Asian action movies, the cinema of Park Chan-wook and even Euro crime-thriller classics...and yet feels...contemporary in its unrelenting energy and aesthetic polish

[The Villainness] is 2017's most breathtakingly unhinged action film.

The Villainess is an ambitious, exhilarating, and harrowing film that does South Korea's tradition of top-notch thrillers proud.

With a body count in triple digits before the opening credits finish, the bloodily inventive fight sequences work better than the emotional scenes here - and sensible shoes aside, director Jung Byung-gil doesn't bring much new to the genre.

Not all of it comes together, but its balls-to-the-wall approach is riotous fun to behold ...

A propulsive, wildly entertaining and hyperkinetic action flick.

"The Villainess" spins with dynamic energy of wanton mayhem and operatic displays of graphic violence when the talking stops and confrontations begin.
April 12, 2021 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… -
Frenzied and kinetic, The Villainess careens all over the place with reckless abandon, where it hits manic, thrilling, dangling-off-a-speeding-bus-while-wielding-a-hatchet highs.
