South Korean cinema has established a distinct identity through its fearless exploration of the more somber aspects of life, particularly within the realm of crime thrillers. These films and dramas resonate deeply with viewers due to their unvarnished authenticity, addressing societal issues such as corruption, racism, and systemic injustice with unwavering candor. While delving into the darker facets of human nature, they frequently provide a sense of hope, resulting in a captivating and thought-provoking viewing experience. A notable example is the film Hit Man, released in 2022, which highlights these societal themes. This Korean film is poised to make its debut in India via Lionsgate Play in the near future.

When will Hit Man be available on Lionsgate Play?  

The crime thriller Hit Man is set to premiere on Lionsgate Play on March 28, 2025. Additionally, fans of Korean content will have the opportunity to view the film on OTTplay Premium on the same date. Directed by Kang Tae-ho, this 1-hour and 31-minute film stars Jeong Je-woo, Park Ji-soo, and Won-suk Ko in leading roles.

What's the plot of the Hit Man film?

The film presents a professional assassin, commonly referred to as a hitman, who perceives his occupation as a technical endeavor. He adheres to a stringent principle: if he is contracted to eliminate an individual, anyone associated with that person also becomes a target, regardless of the circumstances.

A significant turn occurs in his life when an elderly grandmother approaches him, mourning the loss of her granddaughter in a fire incident. The grandmother harbors suspicions about the nature of the accident, believing that something more nefarious may have transpired. In her quest for answers and retribution, she implores the hitman to investigate the situation, hoping he can uncover the truth and ensure that those responsible face the consequences.
