The worst female assassin in cinema history is hired to kill a guy, but she keeps getting distracted by sex.
There’s some striking imagery here, which is no surprise coming from the director of Zoom In: Rape Apartments and Nurse Diary: Beast Afternoon. Unfortunately it’s buried in a dull and deeply mean-spirited story, which reaches a perverse nadir in the film’s climax. Still, it’s neither as outrageously grotesque as Zoom In or as flat-out insane as Nurse Diary. Only Nikkatsu obsessives or completist fans of the director or stars will likely find this of much interest.
