Ami loses her brother to yakuza bullies then her arm when she seeks retribution. Two mechanics take pity on her and create a new limb out of a machine gun allowing her and a chainsaw wielding woman to seek out their revenge.

V.A. Musetto

New York Post

Nonstop violence, gallons of spurting blood, outrageous humor (a kitchen scene is a hoot), extreme vomiting, a drill bra, human sushi and tempura, and other perversity.

Rated: 2/4

A riotous blend of arterial spray and grindhouse glee.

Rated: 3.5/5

Variety

Shameless gore, gallows humor and guilty pleasures are the byproducts of a mechanical plot and impressive helming.

Cinema Crazed

It thrives on being nothing but another mediocre Asian entry that's cooler in description than it manages to be as a film...

It's smart enough to really cut loose and relaxed enough to be funny.

Not as batshit crazy as "Robogeisha" or "Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead". But still pretty batshit crazy. The whole town shunning children because of the parents alleged crime is sadly probable. But movie never explains how being cyborg is a crime and automatic death penalty? This world could have used a tad more explaining. But it's never dull and some kick ass fight scenes. The ending I think is sequel bait.

Very gory fun, but not much to the story or characters beyond a live-action comic book.
