Martial arts thriller sees veteran Hong Kong action star Kara Wai (AKA Kara Hui and Wai Ying Hung) return in kick-ass form as a housewife taking on the underworld.
Mrs K is the second come-back film for Wai (Dragon), teaming with director Ho Yuhang (following At the End of Daybreak) and a cast of Asian cinema legends. Wai plays Mrs K, a former underworld player turned wealthy domestic goddess. When a stranger blackmails Mrs K about her past misdeeds she quickly gets rid of him, hoping it'll be the end of the matter. It's not – more unsavoury characters from her past show up and kidnap her daughter. Mrs K is forced out of her sheltered existence to punch and fly kick her way to redemption.

"Equal parts "Taken"-style thriller and old-school marital-arts/triad-meller homage, it's expertly crafted good fun that should appeal to genre fans across many borders."

Variety"There’s a satisfying absurdity to the juxtaposition of Mrs K’s coiffed and pristine new persona and the killer martial arts skills left over from her old one."

Screen Daily
Screen Daily"While never short on atmospherics and action, Mrs K is in need of a more focused plot, a more stripped-down screenplay."
