'The Old Woman with the Knife' Review: An Overblown Climax Doesn't Spoil Thrills
The Old Woman with the Knife is a captivating, spectacularly convoluted thriller that twists and turns through a myriad of subplots. Adapted from the hit 2022 South Korean novel by Gu Byeong-mo, the film addresses aging, loneliness and purpose through action-packed carnage as a legendary assassin in the twilight of her bloody career is confronted by a vicious young upstart with a surprising agenda. In the end, its slick cinematography and editing can't overcome an excessive flashback structure that builds to an overblown finale. But the mysterious protagonist and her equally enigmatic adversary are magnetic.
