I really enjoyed this. It really has a feel like Clerks, or 10 Things I Hate About You, or any number of the hip indie teen films I watched in the 90s. Most of the movie is about the two girls just figuring out their living situation together and I enjoyed those scenes very much.

The action is fun, the plot is simple if bizarre, the villans are odd, the maid cafe scenes were hilarious. I enjoyed some of the playing with time and the fantasy sequences that all customer service employees have.

The two main actresses did a stellar job and I'll be looking out for them in other things.

I wish IMDB didn't insist on having 600 characters as I have said all that I need to say about this film.

This movie is not perfect first of, the slow pacing, messy writing, and dragged out scenes with decent fighting scenes. However what sells this movie to me is that these pong passed scenes gives you a sense of realism in a way that you don't often see in movies. Having the characters not doing much gives you multiple moments to think and really look into the situation where it doesn't really have to happen anything all the time which is just like real life.

The actors in this movie is also a big factor of what makes this movie good, having the actors look like the age they are portraying is really well done in this movie and one of the main actors is not even a professional actor, she is an stunt actor so seeing someone new to this is really cooo on it's own as well as how the movie progresses throughout the story.

Not great but definitely worth watching.

Baby Assassins was promoted as an action movie. It really isn't & you'll be disappointed if that's why you watch. It has some very good action but there isn't a lot of it. This is really a comedy-drama centering around the personal lives of the two young main characters who just happen to be professional assassins. The comedy is also often dark comedy.

The last 30 minutes I would rate a good 9. The first hour is a mixed bag. It has some really good scenes but some that totally bored me. It didn't help that because of the beginning of this film, we aren't sure until much later what we are watching is real or a fantasy scene. So that took away some enjoyment of the first hour.

The acting was generally good but not great. The action was not a major portion of the movie and had both really good choreography and some very sloppy.

As a whole I enjoyed the movie. Since it finished very strong on comedy, drama and even action it left me fulfilled. This movie is not for everyone, but I would recommend it.

From the films title and cover photo you can pretty much tell what you're in for. What I didn't expect was how well acted, how well filmed, choreographed, funny and over all charming I would find it. Did I say funny ? It is funny! I think the two main characters really deliver charming, nuanced performances. Yes it's an admittedly ridiculous version of teenagers having to face the absurdity of modern times but it's well done even endearing. Think "The Raid" meets "Rurouni Kenshin" meets "Ghost World" meets something funny. I really liked it. I don't know that it warrants a sequel as I see is planned but as a one off I think it was really successful !!!

BABY ASSASSINS (C) is a Japanese made black comedy about two young female assassins who graduate high school, are forced to live with each other by their assassin company and are generally bored with their lives. They keep trying to find jobs but find themselves overcome with the tedium and take out their bosses. They spend a lot of time on the job searching aspect, including a good part of the movie at a maid café. As for a bigger conflict, one of the assassination jobs the girls complete puts them into trouble with local Yakuza - though it takes a convoluted and quirky path to finally have them all come together. Those expecting an action film should know it's just two action set pieces basically - an opening and closing one. The first is okay and the second comes pretty close to greatness. I recommend just checking out youtube for the two scenes and skipping the movie entirely. It's possible my disappointment can be chalked up to cultural differences here (comedy is always toughest to translate), but the black comedy here doesn't quite hit for me, the film meanders, and the action is ultimately a little too sparse.

Baby Assassins is a Japanese action comedy film with unconventional plot and intriguing characters that surprised me very positively. The movie is not as immature as its title or movie poster might suggest and actually has much to offer for teenage and adult audiences around the world.

The story revolves around high school graduates and teenage friends Chisato and Mahori. They have recently moved to a small but cozy apartment where they are living together in downtown Tokyo. Their characters couldn't be more different from each other. Chrisato is sociable, quirky, outgoing, humorous and adventurous as she is constantly trying to get new part-time jobs and meet new people. Mahori on the other side is unconventional, thoughtful, serious, quiet and antisocial and doesn't like getting side jobs or making new friends. However, the two young women have one thing in common: they are professional assassins. One day, they are instructed to kill a member of an infamous Yakuza family. The victim's colleagues try to find out who murdered him and soon start discovering, investigating and observing the two assassins. When two more important members of the same family are killed in self-defence, Chisato and Mahori must face off against the entire clan led by a vengeful daughter who hides sadistic tendencies under her joyful behaviour.

This unique movie managed to convince me on several levels. First and foremost, the three female lead actresses offer quite different acting skills and complement one another perfectly. Their characters are dynamic, intriguing and unique and make viewers care about them. It's also refreshing that none of these characters are dressed up in elegant ways or involved in any romantic relationships. The characters simply manage to shine brightly on their own without being associated to any sexist stereotypes or cumbersome side plots. Up next, the story might not be too complicated to follow but offers quite a few surprising twists and turns mixing hilarious situation comedy with brutal martial arts sequences. This movie feels like a rollercoaster ride as you never quite know what to expect from the next scene. The locations have also been chosen with care and vary from sinister hideouts over cozy apartments to colourful cafés. The film has a perfect length with ninety-five minutes and has entertained me from start to finish.

One could criticize that the plot needs some time to unfold and might be rather simple at the end of the day. Other people will complain that the movie is too colourful, experimental and weird. However, those elements haven't bothered me at all. I actually appreciated getting to know the two heroines and their environment before getting thrown into the main plot. The movie's quirky side represents contemporary Japanese culture in downtown Tokyo very well and makes me want to discover the country's bubbly side even more. I would even go as far to say that I would like to watch a sequel to this movie as I have grown to appreciate the two lead characters very much and think that their unconventional adventures could easily be made into a television or movie series. Coming from someone who usually despises sequels and barely watches any television series, this compliment is as big and sincere as it gets.

As you can read, my final evaluation of this film is very positive. If you like adventurous, colourful, contemporary, creative and diversified storytelling that breaks genre boundaries, then you can't get around this underrated gem that deserves more appreciation, attention and recognition. Baby Assassins certainly is one of the most entertaining movies I have watched in a long time and has left a lasting impression on me.

The 2021 Japanese movie "Beibî Warukyûre" (aka "Baby Assassins") definitely sounded like a movie that could be a great and fun movie to watch, given its synopsis. And since I had never even heard about the movie, then writer and director Yugo Sakamoto had every opportunity to win me over with this movie.

However, I have to say that this movie was a train wreck of a movie. There was no red thread throughout the course of the movie, and director Yugo Sakamoto was all over the place, trying to be everywhere all the same time. It just didn't work out as intended, and the movie came off as a chaotic heap of a disaster. This movie fell very short of entertaining movie.

The narrative in "Beibî Warukyûre" was not only slow paced, but it was also somewhat confusing, and downright boring and pointless. And believe me, it was a struggle to keep focus on the storyline that simply never stood a snowballs chance in Hell. I managed to endure a bit more than halfway through this ordeal of a movie, and then I just gave up. By then I had totally lost interest in the erratic storyline and the character gallery that had as much personality and traits as a speck of dust.

At least the two leading actresses did manage to put on enough of performance to make the ordeal somewhat bearable to suffer through. But they honestly had nothing to work with, and it was showing on the screen, because they were struggling to stay above water.

"Beibî Warukyûre" was a swing and a miss of a movie. And this is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this movie in greater or smaller length, so you don't have to. And this is without a doubt not a movie that I will be returning to again, as I simply have no interest in knowing how the boring narrative pans out.

The movie's cover was actually, and sadly so, the best thing about the entire movie.

My rating of "Beibî Warukyûre", from writer and director Yugo Sakamoto, lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

The movie does a good job of balancing brutal action, funny moments, and some subtle social commentary to create one of the best action comedies of the past few years.

There's less action than one might expect from the trailer and other reviews but the action that we do get is very good. The climax fight in particular is S level stuff and makes the movie really must-see. The leads have excellent chemistry together. They keep the movie very entertaining during the periods without gun fights.

The social commentary is very light. If you aren't familiar with life in Japan in 2021, you won't notice it and you'll still be able to enjoy the film. If you are familiar with life in Japan in 2021, you'll have a deeper understanding of the struggle of young people entering the workforce in a declining country. And that Maid Cafes aren't just a quirky weird Japanese trend but actually kind of horrible places to work and a means of survival. There's a brief conversation behind the scenes at the Maid Cafe that does an excellent job of briefly bringing these themes to the forefront before the movie moves on to bigger things.

Overall, this is a must watch movie for action fans, comedy fans, and fans of foreign films. It gets a lot of things right.

I absolutely LOVE action movies and asian movies so when i saw the trailer for this, it was a no brainer for me, insta buy and watch. But boy was i dissapointed, one of the most boring asian flicks i ever seen, i hardly ever write reviews but it just had to be said. Dont be fooled by the trailer. The story seems to be truelly intresting but sadly the movie is like 90% of the time just in their appartment, where they eat or just talk or bs. This to me was even worse than a romantic chickflick. It starts out pretty strong but after that it goes downhill faster than the speed of light. Lol, wouldnt recommend at all to people who watch it for the actionaspect.

Interesting main characters, who are polar opposites in personality. They are quirky and kind of sympathetic, especially the less socially adept one. There is no significant backstory on their evolution into their "jobs" but just accept what it is and see how these two very different people mesh together.

I really congratulate the filmmaker for the action choreography, which is extremely intricate and very well photographed. It is vastly better than most fight scenes in films these days, even very high budget ones.

The story wasn't gripping, and there wasn't an opportunity for me, at least, to find much sympathy for anyone in the story. At least the dead were deserving of their demise. Still, I enjoyed it.

They are really cute maid. It is not a serious action movie. Just enjoy their pretty cute violence action. Don't think serious......They kill for a living not for fun. They have to be maid in maid cafe to be employee. Killing is just a part time job. Really funny.

Deadpan hilarious and well paced, no time wasted on finicky worldbuilding, it just tosses you in and assumes you'll be able to swim based on ample context clues. I don't think I've seen a better mix of humor and action since Hot Fuzz, and Izawa Saori is probably the first actor in 2 generations to be worthy to take up the Jackie Chan / Stephen Chow / Michelle Yeoh mantle of funny martial artists.

The leads have great chemistry, and for all its absurdity, it remains surprisingly grounded. They manage to act like both snarky gen z kids AND skilled assassins without making those two things a contradiction. And all that is before the fight scenes, which put almost all modern action movies to shame by sheer virtue of believability and being able to see what is actually happening at any given moment.

All 3 movies are worth your time, but the first one is still the best.

Baby Assassins is Fast and Fun! Baby Assassins is the latest release from Well Go USA Entertainment to come out of the Japanese market and it is both fast and fun. This well paced and well Directed action comedy can not help but engage you from the opening scene.

Akari Takaishi and Saori Izawa are delightful as the high young assassins who are faced with trying to balance "normal" lives with their careers as professional assassins. Their chemistry on screen with each other, and the rest of the cast make for some memorable and enjoyable moments as they recognize they may be unfit for anything other than professional "hits".

The film does a terrific job of walking the tight rope between being funny and outrageous without being silly. It also does a fantastic job of integrating martial arts action and gun play into the film. Saori Izawa clearly has some Taekwondo training in her pedigree, and her fight scenes are interesting and well choreographed.

In a market of formula driven action and adventure films it is no surprise that this original and unique action comedy is winning awards and making noise at worldwide film festivals. I expect it will explode in popularity after this year's Comic Con.

Baby Assassins may be the most enjoyable movie independent movie since The Paper Tigers. I highly recommend this film.

The film is subtitled.

Saw a trailer for #3 and thought, "man...I bet #1 would be worth watching!" It definitely was.

This was a lot of fun. Kind of goofy, but not in a goofy 'American pop' movie kind of way (and more to its credit, really) but in a bit of taking social tropes and amping them up a touch, and in a smart, clever way.

Importantly, the action scenes are great. There's not a ton, but they're very well executed and shot, so they're good to watch. Unlike a lot of modern action, they're filmed and edited so the fight itself is part of the story telling and the hits feel cinematic without departing from reality.

The main baddy is obnoxious and stupid, and we could really do without her as she's gone too far into the goofy trope... but the two characters are great for all their differences and chemistry.

Glad I watched it!
