By now for many lovers of the Asian horror Asami is the new Asian scream queen. I agree, I have seen a lot of flicks with Asami and my bond with her goes even further. A few years ago I had the opportunity to speak with her, well, not really because she doesn't understand and talk English, so her translator Kurando Mitsutake (the director of this flick) helped me out talking with her and agreed to take a picture with her. On her flight back it's were she agreed to Kurando to appear in his flick, Gun Woman. Last year I saw Asami back again with Kurando to promote this flick and can be seen as extra on the DVD/Blu Ray release. I wondered how it came that this flick did had a lot of bad reviews. I did like it but I can understand the problem.First of all, this isn't an usual Asami horror, this is more an action flick and Asami doesn't say a word here. Further there's a lot of talking and training going on which makes it rather slow for a lot of people. But if you can sit through that part you will be rewarded with gore and a lot of nudity of Asami.Asami told us that she never had any problem with nudity which is normal if you see her past coming out of the Japanese porn industry, so here she goes the last 25 minutes naked. And by that I mean, full frontal, shaved and unshaved. So for those who wants to see her in full glory this is your flick.The story itself is rather simple as it is a pure revenge flick but some will be turned away by the amount of nudity and the gory parts. There's necrophilia and rape going on by a man with a face you will never forget. And the way it was shot did gave it an extra perverted look.Be advised that if you will pick this up that you will take the full uncut version as i did because Kurando has said it himself, it will be cut down in so many countries due the nudity and some gory shots. Asian lovers doesn't be warned what this is all about but for the "normal" horror geeks please be advised that you are watching a Japanese flick.Gore 2/5 Nudity 4/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

I'm gonna have to spoil the plot a little in order to describe just how stupid this movie really is...Started out decent, with good music which sounded like a lo-fi version of the DRIVE soundtrack but then oh goodness... Just think about the plot for once and tell me it's not awful... A psychokiller who kills people very often, is also a necrophiliac BUT instead of having necro-sex his victims he has to go to a secret necrophilia club to sex corpses thereThen you have a guy who wants to kill mr psycho, and the best idea he can come up with is to snatch up a prostitute junkie, take her hostage and train her into a killing machine so that she can do the killing for him And how is she supposed to do the killing? By pretending to be a corpse of course at the necro-club But to kill someone one has to have a weapon right? So instead of putting up a small gun so called mouse gun or pocket-gun that could easily fit her vagina, he thinks it's wiser to take a big gun and take it apart and cut her up and shove the parts in there instead so she halfways bleeds to death before even getting close to the person she's gonna kill...Only recommended if naked women covered in blood is your cup of tea and you don't care about a plot making any senseBut even then I'd recommend SUSHI GIRL instead which wasn't that good either but manages to look like a masterpiece in comparison with this horse turd

My wife and I sat mesmerized by this movie. Some scenes were hard to understand till the end but the performance by the mad doctor and the Gunwoman held you with their intensity. The plot came together in the end and all in all we were very satisfied with the ending. People have said its Japanese gore, and they are right. But in this context it works - all the way! Don't think, don't analyze, just watch till the end and see if you don't feel the same. The main character, The Gunwoman, is played for all its worth by Japanese actress Asami. No Oscar here but she deserves one. Bloodied, brutal, fearless. We can't wait for part 2!!!

(This review doesn't summarize plot it is not what it is aimed at)The movie doesn't feel like a 2014 movie but rather more of an early 2000's or late 90's. The way the camera is used specially gives that feeling, the image just doesn't have that crisp quality and some shots are a bit pointless. The sound was bad at intervals, switching from scene to scene sometimes it was fine and sometimes it felt like it was recorded on a phone. Soundtrack further gives it that feeling out an old movie. Acting was average most times dialogue felt very stiff and with little to no presence this mainly applies to the side characters. Main characters were better acted specially "Gun Woman" she did a respectable job for the role. As to the movie, its a bit all over the place its build up its going to be a little slow for some people, fight scenes are not 'that' great but perhaps take a more real approach that others movies exaggerate by adding over the top stunts and moves (so basically don't expect fight scenes like "The raid redemption" type). As to the goriness of the movie, yes there is a certain degree of it mixed in with a fair amount of nudity so if this is something which bothers you, maybe move onto another movie. The movie gets more exiting after the first half but you will feel there is not enough character development for everyone except for 'Gun Woman' which we get told a little bit of her life but otherwise the detail provided feels minimal and you won't find yourself too attached to the characters.Overall camera work is old fashioned, sound is average, characters are average, acting is on the low side on most characters and story itself is not bad just wished there was more depth to it. So I think a 5/10 is a good score for this movie though i struggle at times to keep myself from watching something else i still found parts of it entertaining.
