المرأة العجوز ذات السكين

An aging assassin takes on a new protégé in this Korean action thriller.

Hornclaw, portrayed by Lee Hye‑young, is a seasoned assassin in her sixties. Trained under a secretive organization, she specializes in eliminating society's most dangerous figures. With a reputation for precision, she has long kept her past hidden, yet her experience shapes the film's tense, grounded action. Bullfight, played by Kim Sung‑cheol, is a young and reckless hitman eager to prove himself. His raw skill contrasts with Hornclaw’s disciplined approach, creating friction and unexpected chemistry. Alongside them, Dr. Kang, Ryoo, and other characters add layers to the underworld’s complex web of alliances and betrayals. The narrative follows Hornclaw’s reluctant mentorship of Bullfight, who seeks to learn the trade. As their bond deepens, hidden motives surface, and old enemies resurface. A looming threat forces Hornclaw into a high‑stakes game of deception where trust is scarce, and survival hinges on razor‑sharp wit and lethal skill. The film blends swift action, tense dialogue, and psychological tension in a noir‑styled narrative that explores loyalty, survival, and the moral cost of violence.
