LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Korean action film 'Kill Boksoon,' which will be available on Netflix starting March 31 after its world premiere at the upcoming Berlin Film Festival, has released a trailer and poster.

The first poster shows the assassin Gil Boksoon (played by Jeon Do-yeon), a contract killer with a 100 per cent success rate on every mission. Boksoon, who excels at her job, is having trouble raising her daughter Gil Jae-young (played by Kim Si-A), who seems to have her own adolescent mental problems. Boksoon decides to leave the company, as her contract is about to expire, to find out why her teenage daughter is cutting herself off from her. She chooses her next target to kill after attending a school parent meeting, for example, reflecting the irony of her alternative existence in the poster and the circumstances she encounters.

Boksoon sets out to complete her latest assignment, but when she discovers the true purpose of the job, she deviates from the basic company rule of following an order regardless of the circumstances. As a result, she becomes a target for MK and all the other killers.
