This movie was a complete hash-up with scenes from 'Fatal Chase' and 'Hard to Kill' (not Seagal by the way). They had a revenge plot going on with a Manila cop whom Yukari is partnered up with so he can get the syndicate leader who killed his brother. That plot is thrown out the window and we're introduced to the Manila cop's girlfriend who survived an attempt on her life at the hands of the syndicate, but was listed as dead and recruited into a police organization that kills criminals rather than arrest them (I smell a "La Femme Nikita" plot here already).

This woman's name is Rosa Lam and she's partnered with two other females, the friendly but vicious Lisa and the bubbly, kind-hearted Candy. Both women are equally ruthless and Rosa becomes one of them as they carry out their assignments: removing underworld thugs who have escaped from the hands of the law. Dick Wei and Tae Bo both have cameos as men that Rosa comes on to and Rosa even has a 'love affair' with Tae Bo's character, who's an assassin names Leopard. As the movie attempts to progress, Rosa finds herself struggling to hold onto her humanity while trying to do her tasks but keeps complaining that enough is enough and she wants out of the business so she can go back to her lover. The agency keeps making empty promises and you're left hanging as to whether or not Rosa will get her freedom back. (Knowing these agency types, the answer to this question will probably be never.)

I won't lie to you: as a Yukari Oshima fan I kind of went into the movie with high hopes, but was let down viciously. Given that it was a low-budget actioner, I was kinda hopping that they'd make the best of this movie with great fight scenes; there are hardly any in here and the gunfights don't really help too much because the action sequences look more rehearsed than an actual screen shot taking place. Here are some other things that kinda bothered me:

1. The editing is terrible--very choppy and the camera doesn't stick to the scenes that are filmed for far too long.

2. Certain fight scenes and gun battles look like they've been rehearsed, rather than actually showing some true gusto when put into play.

3. Don't bother looking for plot. There is none, and there's little charaterization.

4. A character named David was introduced into the story, but isn't given much background. All we know is that he comes onto Rosa and he's supposed to be an 'undercover'. This guy is dropped like a bad habit out of the story before anything can fully be explored about him.

5. Leopard (a fellow assassin) has a love affair with Rosa, but that story isn't explored either. The story doesn't even explain how they met and fell in love.

6. The dubbing for this film? Aack! Somebody did a terrible job with Candy's voice. Made her seem like an air-head, but she shows her claws when it comes time to 'ride or die' and that's a good thing.

7. No cast list. That's a disappointment 'cause I wanted to know more about the ladies who played Rosa, Lisa and Candy. They had excellent combat capabilities, and I can't understand why they weren't in more girls with guns movies. This film may have killed their chances for more work. As for the cast listing, maybe they knew this film would turn out bad so they asked not to have their names attached to it in anyway--if that's the case, I can't say I blamed them.

8. You're going to have a serious 'WTF' moment when you reach the end. You're just left hanging in the air--no explanation whatsoever.
