"Having a dream however small is a good thing"
Its a violent fun - a stylish action-comedy that perfectly blends brutal fights with dark humor. Don't expect deep storytelling here; this movie is all about over-the-top action and laughs. It fully embraces its genre mix, presenting all the killings from a light, comedic perspective rather than taking itself seriously.
Kanna Hashimoto shines in the lead role, effortlessly switching between playing an innocent young woman and a cold-blooded killer. Her deadpan delivery makes the character both funny and frightening. The action scenes deliver exactly what fans want - fast, bloody fights featuring guns, knives, and hand-to-hand combat, all filmed with manga-like energy.
The film adds an interesting layer with slight romantic tension between the leads, giving some welcome breathing space between the action sequences. The comedy works particularly well, with hilarious moments like Kei casually discussing murder during everyday conversations. These funny bits help balance out the extreme violence.
That said, the plot exists mainly to connect the action scenes, without much depth or surprising twists. The yakuza villains are also pretty generic and forgettable.
Overall, it's a decent movie that knows exactly what it is - violent, darkly comic action flick with just a dash of romance. If you're looking for serious drama, this isn't it. But if you want bloody fun with great dark humor, this is fine.
