    Everything You Need to Know About the Action Thriller ‘Kill Boksoon’

MK Enterprises, the contract-killing agency where stone-cold assassin Gil Boksoon works, has three strict rules: 1) don’t kill minors, 2) don’t take jobs from other agencies and 3) always finish a kill. But when Boksoon’s life as a single mother intervenes with her career, she breaks the rules and puts a target on her back. Kill Boksoon, from The Merciless and Kingmaker (2018) director Byun Sung-hyun, stars Cannes best actress winner and four-time Baeksang Art Awards winner Jeon Do-yeon and four-time Baeksang Art Awards winner Sul Kyung-gu.
