If balls-to-the-wall action is your thing, then the Korean revenge thriller "The Villainess" is a movie you may want to seek out.
Described as South Korea's answer to Luc Besson's "La Femme Nikita," the hyperkinetic action thriller, which sees Kim Ok-bin (star of Park Chan-wook's vampire film "Thirst") as a highly skilled female assassin who's been blackmailed into working as a sleeper agent, has just opened in New York and Los Angeles today, August 25th.
The Jung Byung-Gil-directed film will expand to other cities throughout September. But in case you still need convincing, a new action-packed trailer has been released online, and it will definitely get your heart racing.
synopsis:

But soon enough, secrets from her past destroy everything she’s worked for, and now nobody can stand in her way as she embarks on a roaring rampage of revenge.
