Paul May 17 Riveting and very suspenseful See more Avindu G @RT86379654 16h An aging wanderer steps on a shard from her own shattered past; A raging orphan trying to stitch the past and present together. Old lady is an attractive novelty to the intense action and the quenching bloodshed of the genre. But the abrupt flashbacks and inconsistent character arcs diminish the shine of this movie. Yet there's plenty of action to enjoy thanks to the powerful visuals and cinematography. Therefore investing your time in this movie is not a bad idea. See more Luke T @LightSyson 1d More of this is needed. Fantastic lead. And convincing. There was no 'american style' girl boss never get hit nonesense. The action feels visceral and intense. Great story. Its equally as good in its quiet moments as it is in its action sequences. Both leads deserve massive acolades See more Darren D @DarrenJD Apr 7 Kyu-dong Min's "The Old Woman with the Knife" is a visually slick, yet compelling, bloody, & intense thriller that delves into its own rich history of storytelling & demonstrates how the trail of violence can affect those who witness it & how it ripples through their lives. Lee Hye-Young's performance is ferociously compelling, often delivered with a cold demeanour between the violent action sequences. This old woman is a badass.

See more Depechemark @depechemark Nov 30 Great movie! She's so good! But there's no reason this movie had to be 2 hours and 5 minutes. This easily could have been 90 minutes. AND the ending made absolutely no sense. So he wanted to kill her but then as he's dying it's revealed that he actually wanted to go with her when he was a kid like to be his new mom or something, and she says later when he's older? So if that's all he wanted, why want to kill her, threaten the vet's family, kidnap the girl, and then beat her up and almost kill her? Whaaaaat? Then she realizes it and goes over to him and holds him in her lap as he's dying and basically says why didn't you tell me and he said because he was scared? So because he was scared to tell her he instead tries to kill her? Again, whaaaaat? Storyline would have been better If he was a little angry and midway through they had a fight or something, then that realization happened, then they joined forces or something. It's almost like, did anyone really read the script and realize the ending made no sense? It's like, "I'm an adult now and I'm angry because you left me when I was a kid, I'm going to try to kill you, intimidated a family, kidnap a girl, hire 25 men to kill you with guns, fight you myself, punch and stab you and almost kill you, all because I was scared to tell you I was the kid from 25 years ago whose father beat me and you protected me by killing him and I wanted to go with you but you said find me later and I did but was afraid you wouldn't remember me." ???
