Featured reviews
"Gun Woman" is a fairly ludicrous movie in terms of the story, because it is so far out there, that it borders on stupidity.
The story is about a doctor whose wife is raped and murdered by a lunatic. Left for dead, the doctor recovers and eventually buys a drug addict woman in order to train her to become his tool for revenge, a trained assassin to kill the man who wronged him and took away his wife.
Yep, that was the entire storyline wrapped up in a few sentences. The storyline actually makes no sense at all, given the concept of it and the whole idea.
That being said, then "Gun Woman" is actually entertaining enough for what it is, even though a bit too much of the movie was spent on the assassin training sequence, which just dragged on and on.
The acting is as expected in a movie such as this, and with Asami as the lead role, you know exactly what you get. Hand on heart, then I found the acting to be wooden at best, and the dialogue is usually delivered in a nonchalant way.
While "Gun Woman" is not a milestone in cinema history, it is still entertaining enough for a single viewing if you enjoy movies that have no roots in realism at all.

GUN WOMAN is awesome in every way.
Despite the low budget, the realization is remarkable, as are the special effects. There are many scenes (often action or very gory) that are absolutely epic.
The actors are very good, both in the action and dialogue scenes. ASAMI is great in his role. You can see the movie just for that reason!
Finally, the script has some unexpected twists and turns that make you want to see it all again. There is also a real work on the details, especially those related to suffering.
The atmosphere and events in the film are meant to be realistic and disturbing. It works!
It's a pity that this movie is not more known, it's original and extremely entertaining. Splatter fan, go and see it!

A crazy Japanese revenge flick where a doctor loses his wife to a psychotic billionaire rapist. He buys a drugged out sex slave and trains her to fight and to shoot. Once she is trained her mission is to smuggle a gun into a highly secure compound and kill the psycho. The only way she can do this is by having three surgical cuts in her body to hide the gun pieces. She has to open the stitches once in there and assemble the gun. She only has 22 minutes to kill him before she bleeds out.
This is an extreme version of The Professional or Leon. Good effects all around with a definite grindhouse feel. Jumps between English and Japanese dialects. Tense as hell but the ending could have used some

The only good thing about the movie is that the first half was somewhat interesting and the very convincing pervert bad guy. Aside from that everything was a bloody mess (pun intended), the acting of the rest of the actors was terrible and the director was too artsy in a totally failed way. But most importantly nothing made sense. The reaction of everyone to anything in this movie was ridiculous.
I like watching b-movies for the fun of it, but this was no fun at all, because the whole project was being too serious on the subject trying to be something bigger than it is (I hope I make sense).
This movie wasn't worth my time watching it and isn't worth my time writing anything more.
Do yourself a favor, skip this one.

This is definitely a weird movie. I can't say for sure if it's bad or good, I just don't know. Its gory, a lot of nudity and 2 crazy ass looking people. At first I thought it was a documentary. And I thought most of the movie would be in English , I think it was in Japanese. Just watch at your own risk.
