      Audience Member Direction could use some work, but not bad for a low-budget female yakuza revenge film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Fairly interesting plot of a woman out seeking revenge on the yakuza boss who killed her parents when she was young. Very bleak with brutality and violence in abundance here. If you like revenge themed movies you could do no worse than watch this. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A well-directed, cinematically rich, kung fu vengeance flic. It is obviously apparent that the vastly overrated Kill Bill series was strongly influenced by this movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member some nice flourishes but overall pretty meh. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member good enough to make want to see part 2 :-) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Fairly interesting plot of a woman out seeking revenge on the yakuza boss who killed her parents when she was young.
