Robert Daniels New York Times From the two characters’ search for acceptance emerges a tender mother-daughter bond worth its weight in blood. Apr 7, 2023 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Fans of over-the-top “John Wick”-style action movies and devotees of art-house cinema should each find something to like in “Kill Boksoon"... Apr 1, 2023 Full Review Quinci LeGardye Salon.com In this magnetic film, Bok-soon's dilemmas as a mother and the moments where they inevitably intersect with her work make for the most thrilling portrayal of work-life balance put to the screen. Mar 31, 2023 Full Review Joshua Polanski Boston Hassle The film gets somewhat sloppy with its ending, which undermines the development between mom and daughter. Jul 7, 2024 Full Review Nuha Hassan Nuha Hassan Kill Boksoon shows a fair amount of emotional vulnerability within its characters, even though Byun could have explored their relationship’s complexities further. Sep 8, 2023 Full Review Jay Weissberg The Film Verdict The action sequences are well-done if not exactly thrilling, but the whole shebang is awfully predictable, and while Byun Sung-hyun toys with interesting notions of ethics and “doing the right thing,” that’s all just perfunctory window dressing.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/15/23 Full Review Leonard S The movie takes a look at the lighter side of the assassin business. The director was able to draw a balance between humor and serious side of the business. Dialogue was witty and the pace was fast. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
