Slow but Real

This movie is not perfect first of, the slow pacing, messy writing, and dragged out scenes with decent fighting scenes. However what sells this movie to me is that these pong passed scenes gives you a sense of realism in a way that you don't often see in movies. Having the characters not doing much gives you multiple moments to think and really look into the situation where it doesn't really have to happen anything all the time which is just like real life.The actors in this movie is also a big factor of what makes this movie good, having the actors look like the age they are portraying is really well done in this movie and one of the main actors is not even a professional actor, she is an stunt actor so seeing someone new to this is really cooo on it's own as well as how the movie progresses throughout the story.Not great but definitely worth watching.

Also known as Beibi Warukyure

Baby Assassins (2021)This is a strange crime comedy featuring two teenage girls that are assassins. They are very good at what they do. Their bosses want them to share an apartment of their own and get part time jobs to look inconspicuous, but the problem is that they're sociopaths and they just can't put up with their part time bosses or customers without killing them.The blonde Mahilo (Saori Izawa) and her co-assassin, Chisato (Akari Takaishi) have more misadventures just coping with the straight world than taking out Yakuza gangsters. They are barely able to handle each other, but somehow it works for them.Both Mahilo and Chisato are reasonably likable and you find yourself rooting for them. The fight choreography is very good. The movie is humorous but not a laugh riot. I really enjoyed it.

who knew ?

From the films title and cover photo you can pretty much tell what you're in for. What I didn't expect was how well acted, how well filmed, choreographed, funny and over all charming I would find it. Did I say funny ? It is funny! I think the two main characters really deliver charming, nuanced performances. Yes it's an admittedly ridiculous version of teenagers having to face the absurdity of modern times but it's well done even endearing. Think "The Raid" meets "Rurouni Kenshin" meets "Ghost World" meets something funny. I really liked it. I don't know that it warrants a sequel as I see is planned but as a one off I think it was really successful !!!
