Amazon Prime Video is one of the best streaming platforms around. With 26,300+ movies and 2,700+ TV shows, Amazon Prime Video has one of the largest libraries of content anywhere on the internet. The platform is constantly updating with new titles and offers a huge range of high-quality content including a host of brilliant Amazon Originals.
The Handmaiden is one of those movies where every character is scamming another character, resulting in an exciting, dramatic thriller. It starts out as a film about a Korean con man (Ha Jung-woo) who devises a pan to seduce a Japanese heiress (Kim Min-hee) out of her inheritance. He enlists the help of a pickpocket (Kim Tae-ri) to act as the heiress' maid and confidant, tasking her with encouraging marriage between the two. Things begin to get more dangerous as deeper relationships develop in the messy, intertwined trio, which is all I want to say without actually spoiling the plot's genius twists. What you should know going in is that this movie was directed by Park Chan-wook, who gave us the brutal, bloody Oldboy, so you should expect some gruesome imagery. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]
