mindless drivel, 10 May 2005
Author: movieman_kev from United States

Bred all her life to be an assassin, Shion is the best at what she does. But when she develops a conscience for no reason whatsoever, choosing to go home and masturbate with her gun rather than kill her mark, her clergy bosses ( Yup they're involved in this too, the bad clergy is pretty much a groan-worthy movie cliché now) are none too happy and mark her for death. This flick was somewhat of a chore to sit through and really doesn't make much sense if you think about it. Pure mindless drivel.

My Grade: D

DVD Extras: Character bios; Trivia game; and Theatrical Trailer; Trailers for "Beautiful Beast", "Dimension Travelers", "Tokyo Mafia: Yakuza Wars", "Blowback: Love and Death", and Zero Woman: Assassin Lovers"
