Viewing Notes
How is it among all the #ActionTwitter ppl I follow none has mentioned this movie or the fact that it’s a prequel to BABY ASSASSINS by a couple of weeks. Mahiro and Chisato are a couple of assassins called in to take out the main protag who is an assassin. Their sequence is easily the best in the movie.
Despite the very good premise the movie rarely makes the most of it. So many opportunities for this assassin disguised as a high school janitor to do something cool or interesting. But nope. It’s not until the big ending when anything fun happens.
Hate to be that guy but this should’ve been what THE KILLER is, a well trained assassin protecting a teenager and fucking dudes up. This movie wants to be a drama with some humor and then a little action at the end. But it’s worth watching for the Baby Assassins.
