free after ten years of service. So she begins her new life as a theatre
actress. But soon two men Joong-sang and Hyun-soo appear in her new life. And
she started to find deep dark secrets about her past. Eventually she take

I hadn’t seen a foreign film in awhile that really made me
say WOW so my hopes for VILLIANESS were rather high. Upon watching it I found a
story that at first I thought was very familiar, but as the film progressed I
realized how wrong I was. I have found that Asian cinema was very good at
combining emotional storylines with either action or violent imagery and
VILLIANESS was just that. I also felt the way the film was shot was very
dynamic and added to the entire film experience. So for VILLIANESS I give a
solid 3.75 out of 5.
