Chisato and Mahiro are two high school girls who are about to graduate. They also happen to both be highly skilled assassins and their organization has insisted that they properly integrate into "normal" society. When the organization they work for orders them to share a room, the relationship between the pair quickly turns sour. However, when they find themselves targeted by the yakuza, the girls quickly realize that they will have to find a way to work together in order to make it to normal society.

Reviews
Dark comedy (sprinkled with action) at its finest
Was this movie made for me or something?It's a dark comedy, utterly cynical movie about 2 deadly jaded assassin girls—that look anything but—living a boring but strange life in-between jobs that culminates in an utterly awesome final fight the likes of which you rarely see due to a functional choice of choreography I very much approve of.
_________________________________________
Stunts - 80/100 | Everything contained in the paragraph above is why I loved this movie. The rest is gravy.
Narrative - 80/100 | If you think you wanna watch a movie where 2 bored assassins do literally nothing except an occasional murder (and waste time in-between), then you'll probably enjoy this. Otherwise, you'll probably dislike this. I enjoyed it because their lack of purpose in life was a sight to see and Mahiro was strangely captivating as a character. Also because of the recurring funny little gags with the objects falling out of place, I've always loved those kinds of small visual gags. I don't know, it came together nicely for me.
Fight Choreography - 90/100 | The final fight is choreographed to look real instead of looking choreographed, an odd contradiction that works when done properly. Action choreographer Kensuke Sonomura will be one to watch for sure.
Enjoyment - 90/100 | Needed more fights. Needed better sound mixing for the guns in the 3rd act. More of this please. Thank you.

killing and eating, that's all
This movie is a relatively light hearted dark comedy (as contradictory as that may sound) the premise is pretty simple, not a very complicated or meaningful plot but if you're like me, that's more than enough to be entertaining. I love the two main leads dynamic, they can be relatable when lazy, ditzy, inexperienced and a joy to just watch having idle chatter or killing people. I found Mahiro's fight scenes quite nice as they were realistically scrappy and found out she's a stunt woman! so cool!Was this review helpful to you?
