Viewing Notes
Had this DVD still sealed for a long time, probably from around the time it was released from ADV Films. This is a throwback to V-cinema with bursts of action and violence in a short runtime minus the sleaze. I like it and wish this entire Gun Crazy series of 4 woman-led films got a restored upgrade on Blu as a set. They should’ve made a sequel to this!
Rei Kikukawa is solid as the lead lawyer turned vigilante. She does get really good w/guns rather quickly but w/e it works and keeps things moving along. Watched her interview on the DVD and she says she now likes action films and wants to do more. Her next film was Godzilla: Final Wars hahaha
