Athena Goddess of War

Soo Ae (The Sword With No name) stars as Yoon Hye-in, a sexy spy working as a double agent whose love for men on both sides of the law force her to make se serious decisions. And if you think that sentence sounds complicated and confusing then get ready to watch this movie with a notepad to keep everybody’s alliances straight in your head as the story progresses. While there are plenty of actions scenes in the movie, including some big, complicated battle scenes, the focus of the movie is more on plot that pyrotechnics. There’s lots of pithy dialog (which probably loses some if its pith in translation) and a complicated game of red herring posturing between Hye-in and the two men in her life, one who is the good guy and one who is the bad guy. It all feels a bit overcomplicated at times, but the effort it takes to figure it all out is worth it.
