The Old Woman with the Knife

Cho Gak, aka Hornclaw (Lee Hye Young), has spent most of her life working as an assassin for a vigilante agency, killing lowlife underworld gangsters and other criminals on demand. Now aged 65, she no longer looks the part, and her health is failing – but she has lost none of her deadly skills. Hornclaw has become numb to killing and the loneliness of her existence. But her world is turned on its head when she meets Bullfight (Kim Sung Chul), a young up-and-coming hitman who claims he wants to work at her side. She also discovers that someone is trying to kill her. Unsure if she can trust Bullfight, she finds herself locked in a deadly struggle for survival. As tensions begin to rise, the stage is soon set for a tumultuous showdown. Will Hornclaw and Bullfight discover that those who live by the sword must also die by the sword? This movie is based on the novel Pagwa by Gu Byeong Mo.
