Shion, de meedogenloze huurmoordenaar van het misdaadsyndicaat Magnificat, is even sexy als dodelijk. Maar wanneer haar laatste doelwit de man blijkt te zijn van wie ze houdt, wordt Shion verscheurd tussen plicht en haar hart. Haar onwil markeert haar dood door Magnificat, en haar beslissing dwingt haar tot een leven op de vlucht, waarbij haar mede moordenaars altijd een stap achterlopen.

Going down on a lady so good, that not only does it stop them shooting you in the head with the gun they have pointed at you, but it also encourages them to leave their Christian-assassin cult and learn all about dating with you. That should give you the idea of what this pulpy softcore-crime-thriller bout of stylised sleaze is about.So much PVC, neon lighting and pop-jazz tunes. You’ve seen the secret organisation female killer story before, but this version trashes it up with guns on nipples, pseudo-incest and lesbian electro torture. But then tries to marry it with a very unconvincing romance angle that features a lot of frolicking in fields.It has the odd audacious moment, but mostly it plays out a lot more run of the mill than it sounds. Which is fine, as there’s a story there that keeps it going. But it just never hits that full on level of crazy you want to a potential trashy masterpiece.
Steamy softcore V-Cinema thriller from Nikkatsu Roman Porno luminary Masaru Konuma. XX: Beautiful Hunter focuses on a beautiful and ruthless female assassin. Her latest job is photographed by an investigative journalist, but when she sets out to cover her tracks by eliminating him, he successfully appeals to her feminine side and now the pair are on the run from her former employers. It's totally absurd stuff, but I loved every minute of it. The film is so stylishly shot and Makiko Kuno looks incredible in the lead. The story itself is simple but involving. The pop soundtrack gives it something of a hedonistic vibe that is nicely offset against the frequent pulpy violence. There's plenty of softcore nudity and a sadistic torture scene provides a major highlight later in the film. The third act does feel a little rushed, but the film still manages to make good on the central romance plotline in a way that fits with the ethos of the film while delivering a satisfying conclusion at the same time. This is the kind of sleazy trash that I could sit and watch all day.
Het volgt een vrouwelijke huurmoordenaar voor een religieuze misdaadgroep die op de vlucht slaat nadat ze haar doelwit spaart.
Het werd geregisseerd door de Japanse filmmaker Masaru Konuma in 1994.
