Best movie ever!
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
OK, with a title like Gun Woman I was expecting a horrible film with sub par acting and a predictable script, but I was very wrong. This movie gripped my attention from start to finish, and yes, it's done a bit tongue and cheek but that doesn't take away from the intensity of the actors performances which glue you to every scene. You will want to protagonists to succeed and long for the bad guy to die a horrible death.Asami truly becomes one with her role as gun woman and despite all the compromising positions she finds herself in the character comes off the screen as gritty, and brutally, beautifully realistic. The doctor is definitely worth a mention as well with his style of dress and hair he comes off as a rather perverted romantic vision in relation to his motives in the film. The villain is also perfect in his psychopathic intensity.Yes it's gory and no it's not going to win best movie of the year but it was great fun and I might even watch it again!
I understand the bad reviews.The movie is gritty, not glossy and high budget. Not everyone enjoys Quentin Tarantino style dialog and plot twists. There's more blood and mindless killing than a Hollywood blockbuster, and it's graphic. For most of the movie, Asami is either naked or has her slim Japanese breasts exposed. It's not erotic, even in her soft porn sex scenes. She's usually covered in dirt, mud or blood. I understand why many reviewers rated this below a 5. I gave it an 8. Every good movie needs a villain, and Gun Woman has one of the most despicable villains I've seen. I hated his face, his eyes, his insane smile. Like the protagonists, I wanted to see him dead. The Asami character is borrowed (stolen) from La Femme Nikita and the Bridget Fonda Americanized version, Point of No Return. This did not trouble me. Like Nikita, she's found broken, rehabilitated and trained. This was realistic and fun to watch, except when it got too bloody. The flowing blood was a metaphor for Life and Death, but I am squeamish and found it hard to watch. The ending is straight out of early M. Night Shyamalan movies. You just don't see it coming. This is not a character driven movie. The only character who changes is Gun Woman herself, and that isn't important to the movie. It tells a story of vengeance and redemption covering 3 generations. Unlike more highly rated features, it has a beginning, middle and end. "No Country For Old Men" won a Best Picture award and have an ending. If you are open-minded, can endure the blood letting and love a good vengeance movie with a surprise ending, Gun Woman is a different and rewarding experience.
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
OK so its your typical Japanese gore movie except with a good story and some really nice twists. Wasn't sure during the first half of the movie as it felt kinda slow but totally has a great 2nd half.Really enjoyed watching this and would rate it with other great movies like Machine Girl, Tokyo Gore Police, Versus, Robo Geisha, Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl, Mutant Girls Squad, Helldriver, Gothic & Lolita Psycho, Battlefield Baseball, Meatball Machine etc.So if you enjoy these kind of movie, than this one is going to be a treat and would def make your fav list. Lots of nudity by just one girl but makes sense.This is just a good movie which I enjoyed watching, one does not need to point out all the loop holes or how there could have been other ways to get the job done stuff. Just enjoy.
