Kill Boksoon (2023)

As an action film, Kill Boksoon has the pulse-pounding sequences of hand-to-hand combat you're looking for. When the picture slows down to focus on its family drama and side characters, it can’t help but feel derivative of other works. Whether the stunts and choreography are enough for you, I can't be sure. For me, I found it lacking.

Single mother Gil “Kill” Bok-Soon (Jeo Do-yeon) is a hitwoman working for M.K. Ent, one of several criminal organizations specializing in discreet - or not-so-discreet, if that’s what you want - assassinations. Gil is also a single mother who struggles to connect with her teenage daughter, Jae-yeong (Kim Si-a). As Gil contemplates retirement, the two worlds she’s worked so hard to keep separate start moving too close together for comfort.

I never buy into these “assassins with a code of honour” movies. Bok-Soon’s boss, Cha Min-Kyu (Sol Kyung-gu) goes into great length about this airtight secret society of killers he and his peers assembled, how they won’t slaughter children, will always do the jobs they’re assigned (among other rules) and how this has made the criminal underworld a better place. It just doesn’t hold up. Firstly, any drug addict will accept to do pretty much anything if you give them $100, so how exactly can Min-Kyu and his sister Cha Min-Hee (Esom) guarantee only "sanctioned" killers are "working"? We see them take out targets outside of Korea. Are we supposed to believe there aren't any mercenaries anywhere else? Next, that code of honour. Give me a break. So you’re not killing little kids. What you are willing to do is make them orphans, and the second someone turns 18, they’re fair game so don’t pretend like you have some moral high ground. You didn’t see Mother Teresa handing envelopes of cash to get someone whacked. What I’m getting at is that no matter how much the film tries to get you to sympathize with Bok-Soon, a part of you will always think “she freely admits she’s going to Hell because of all the crimes she’s committed. I’m pretty sure the planet would be better off without her.”

Even if you don’t have issues with the problems above, the premise isn’t original. You figure Bok-Soon will eventually have to turn on her fellow assassins, with her boss - the man who taught her everything - facing off against her at the very end. We’ve seen that a thousand times. There is a bit of intrigue in the family drama stuff. After a violent incident at school, mom wonders if the apple doesn’t fall so far from the tree. Too bad that business makes the film swell up to a needlessly hefty 137 minutes. Way too long.

The action scenes are the reason to see this picture. Director Byun Sung-hyun does this cool thing where he has his protagonist imagine how a scenario might go, and then show Bok-soon snapping out of her fantasy so she can try something different. It’s a clever way to extend the fights and more than once, catches you by surprise. The stunt choreography is great, with an extended brawl in a bar is the film’s highlight.

In North America, Kill Boksoon is being released via Netflix, which means you can see it "for free". This is a film that ultimately, I doubt you'll remember, which means that's the right price for it. From the comfort of your home, you can set aside the blemishes and focus on what works, which are the action scenes and to a certain extent, the family drama.

𝕄𝕒𝕣 𝕕𝕖 𝕝𝕒 𝕥𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕢𝕦𝕚𝕝𝕚𝕕𝕒𝕕 (2021)

Mar de la tranquilidad (The Silent Sea) es una serie surcoreana de ciencia ficción estrenada en Netflix que explora la supervivencia y el misterio en un futuro donde el agua es extremadamente escasa en la Tierra. La historia sigue a un grupo de astronautas, liderados por la astrobióloga Song Ji-an (Bae Doona) y el comandante Han Yoon-jae (Gong Yoo), enviados a una estación lunar abandonada, Balhae, para recuperar una muestra crucial en un ambiente. hostil y cargado de secretos.

La serie de ocho episodios de 50 minutos cada uno, destaca por su atmósfera claustrofóbica y sus efectos especiales, que logran transmitir la soledad y el peligro en el espacio. Aunque algunos espectadores encuentran el ritmo pausado, este estilo contribuye al suspenso y al misterio sobre lo que realmente ocurrió en la estación lunar y el valor del misterioso “agua lunar”, un recurso potencialmente salvador, pero peligroso.

En cuanto a las actuaciones, Bae Doona y Gong Yoo ofrecen interpretaciones sólidas, aunque algunos personajes secundarios carecen de desarrollo. La serie no profundiza tanto en los dilemas éticos o las consecuencias del cambio climático como podría, pero es una propuesta interesante y visualmente impactante que destaca en la ciencia ficción surcoreana por eso le damos tres estrellitas ⭐⭐⭐
