Kore
Synopsis: Kore, pronounced "kohr-ee", is a unique action-packed tale of two worlds, each inhabited by the same person.
By day, Corey is a savvy tea barista who blends up the loveliest drinks in the bubbling neighborhood of downtown L.A.'s bustling Chinatown. By night, she is Kore- a silent petite avenger cleansing the streets of the angelic city of it’s worst human predators. The catch? Neither side knows about the other.
Corey's peaceful sunny daytime world takes an immediate turn when she meets Jess, an average "guy-next-door" record shop owner who shares his undying love for music and ultimately wins over her innocent heart.
As Corey plunges into her newfound love life, the malevolent White Crane organization casts a deadly net around the city in search of their rival black Cormorant girl who escaped from them nearly twenty years ago.
A haunting, troubled past is pushed to the brink of Corey's forgotten memory when the hunt for the little Cormorant forces her night-time vigilante alter-ego, the Kore, to surface and inevitably fall into the clutches of Otaku, the White Crane Society's lunatic billionaire boss.
In a fantasy world of crazy twin siblings, Manga statues, and bubble tea, Corey must confront and overcome herself in order to destroy the sinister group responsible for snatching away her childhood. Unexpectedly, it is their peerless henchman, Hitoshi, who helps bring Kore out of the underworld in a desperate endeavor to redeem himself after turning in the little Cormorant to his evil commander.
Every moment of Kore leads to an action-packed finale, and the last act of the film delivers with a seat-gripping mixed martial arts extravaganza within the elaborate compounds of a maddening warehouse maze.
