Ok..I've been negligent in posting some new film reviews. So here's 2 to make up for it
Henjin's slacker film review blog presents...

Black Angel 1997
Ikko is the adopted daughter of a Tokyo crime boss. Her step sister and a rival crime boss whack her father, the mysterious Black Angel (hit woman extrordinare) sends young Ikko to America. Now that she's 18 she's back in Tokyo...for vengeance (and maybe some shopping). Black Angel is now a junkie flunky for the bad guys....can Ikko overcome her and punish the woman who may be more than her step sister.

Black Angel 2 1998
When two seperate cleaners are sent to whack the same yakuza shit is bound to go wrong. Not only does the target survive...but an innocent bystander looses her husband and unborn baby. Mayo, the Black Angel, must now try to complete her contract and finish the kill. To make things difficult Miss Bystander wants revenge (after all that's why people go to Tokyo). Well Miss Bystander isn't ready for the big leagues and must rely on the gangster and assasin that killed her baby to survive.

Gangsters, gun battles, and cross dressing fixers...I love it. I found the story of BA2 more involving. Look for obvious camera crew shadows to add the perfect touch during beating scenes.
