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

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.

“Kill Boksoon” remains impressive, if only for its unexpected sensitivity and considerable emotional range.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 31, 2023

Writer-director Byun Sung-hyun, an up-and-coming director, handles the action sequences with real flair, but does an even better job limning the complex, sometimes fraught relationships...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 30, 2023

Silly, splashy, CG-assisted nonsense — and at 2 hours 17 minutes, way too long.

| Mar 28, 2023

Overall, it’s serviceable stuff that, like Boksoon herself, struggles with the emotional connections in life, but sure knows how to land a punch.

| Feb 19, 2023

At well over two hours it’s way too long and heads more or less where you think it will, but it’s fun to watch Byun and Jeon deliver the goods both viscerally and, at times, movingly.
