THE VILLAINESS has some of the most audacious action sequences of the year. Between them is sandwiched a melodrama that jumps across time, with multiple betrayals along the way...

Rating: 2/4 -- "The Villainess" is little more than an action showcase, with way more scenes of turgid espionage than thrilling set pieces. It's for genre die-hards, not a general audience. Full Review

For connoisseurs, it’s an OLDBOY plus an ATOMIC BLONDE plus the only good action scene from DAREDEVIL, but there are some genuinely unexpected moments. -- Grade: B

Rating: 4/5 -- Midnight slickness is The Villainess's signature look, and one it rocks with mesmeric panache. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- The Villainess is a wonderfully lurid and overcooked thriller with a plot so melodramatic that you half suspect the filmmakers borrowed it from an opera. Full Review

Coming out swinging from the opening frames, writer/director Byung-gil Jung's The Villainess pistol-starts with a breathtaking first person action sequence... then proceeds to top itself repeatedly. Full Review
