Viewing Notes
via Netflix
Marking the 75th anniversary of his birth, Shotaro Ishinomori’s classic spy heroine manga “009-1” has been adapted into a live-action motion picture for the first time ever. A female cyborg designed to be a cold blooded killing machine sets out to bust up a human trafficking ring and rescue the scientist that created her. I only vaguely could tell what was going on here. The action scenes were pretty decent although heavy on the cg, the acting was all over the place like the script, and this feels like there’s a huge chunk of the story missing to tell an over-arching story that would have taken place over a number of episodes in an anime.
