6/10
Comically violent Japanese revenge flick.
9 July 2008
In a nutshell (in case you have things to do): Girl's brother is tormented and eventually killed by a gang of bullies; chief among them is the son of a Yakuza leader. The girl is determined to have revenge (all the while dressed in school girl uniform, which seems to me to be a popular Japanese fetish, -maybe yours too, who knows).

And so the stage is set for one of the most violent and ridiculous movie I've ever seen. All of the comedy -and I do mean all of it- ironically comes from the violence. This is because it's so over-the-top, and the props sometimes so obvious (like a mannequin's head substituted for a human head in one scene) -you cannot help but laugh.

Finally, just to give you an idea of what you're dealing with, some parts of the movie towards the end looks like something that could have been staged by MAD TV or Saturday Night Live. This is a movie that knows it's silly (but "funny" silly, mind you) so I'm giving it six silly stars. Love, Boloxxxi.
