The Baby Assassins franchise is back with a killer entry
Baby Assassins: Nice Days is closer in quality to the first than the second one, at least for me.
I'm so glad that these exist. They live in their little corner of the universe, giving us peculiar but charming assassin slice of life nonsense alongside neatly choreographed action that has a unique flair to it. You'd be hard-pressed finding anything like it.

Stunts - 80/100 | And this time, there's even more action. It's definitely the most action-packed of the franchise so far.
Narrative - 68/100 | We're veering into John Wick territory here. I hope the 4th installment will be assassins vs the guild. Pretty please?
Fight Choreography - 93/100 | Yeah, this is the shit. If you wanna know why this type of choreography works read my review of the first installment, or more accurately: my summary of Tao A's review. More of this please! More!
Enjoyment - 82/100 | As long as the quality stays like this I'm gonna watch for sure. The sound editing and uneven mixing remain the only criticism I could give these movies on the technical side.
I love that Japan is carving a place for itself in the "great martial arts movies" category these days. They're picking up the slack left by some other countries. Well, the more the merrier!
Main Fighters: Saori Izawa, Sosuke Ikematsu
