Shion, ruthless assassin for the Magnificat crime syndicate, is as sexy as she is deadly. But when her latest target turns out to be the man she loves, Shion is torn between duty and her heart. Her reluctance marks her for death by Magnificat, and her decision forces her into a life on the run, with her fellow assassins always a step behind.

Viewing Notes
Easily the horniest of films in this V-cinema box set, so this was a good one to end on, though probably more suited to watching late at night. Even the camera angles and shots are often set up to be from a voyeuristic and/or surveillance standpoint. It also dips its toes (whole body?) into bondage, sadomasochism, and Catholicism as a death cult (I mean, it is, so…). So what I’m saying is there’s a lot to like here and I’d love to see more of the XX V-cinema series get released (and just more V-cinema titles in general).
