Killing Angel Muhan

About This Movie

Killing Angel Muhan dives deep into the psyche of its titular character, a female assassin wrestling with her violent past and morality after a hitjob goes awry. The film carries a gritty tone, enhanced by its atmospheric cinematography and a somewhat raw presentation. Unlike the manga’s focus on mahjong, the movie leans heavily into action and crime, with some intense sequences that feel almost visceral. The performances, particularly that of the lead, capture a complex mix of toughness and vulnerability. What stands out is its pacing—there's a slow burn that builds tension, juxtaposed with sudden bursts of violence that feel jarring but effective. It’s not your run-of-the-mill assassin film; it lingers on the internal conflict, making it quite distinctive.
