True crime meets global spy thriller in this gripping account of the assassination of Kim Jong-nam, the half brother of the North Korean leader. The film follows the trial of the two female assassins, probing the question: were the women trained killers or innocent pawns of North Korea?
"Know that expression, when we come across an absurd story and say it should be made into a movie? 'Assassins' might be that typical case that even Hollywood, in its most inspired days, couldn't create such an absurd plot. The feature film, exclusive to HBO Max, follows the account of two women convicted of murdering Kim Jong-un's half-brother, the dictator of North Korea. Directed by Ryan White (of 'The Keepers'), 'Assassins' brings all the tastiest and most absurd details of this crime and how, to this day, little is known about what is really behind it."
