Baby Assassins

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.

The movie does a good job of balancing brutal action, funny moments, and some subtle social commentary to create one of the best action comedies of the past few years.

There's less action than one might expect from the trailer and other reviews but the action that we do get is very good. The climax fight in particular is S level stuff and makes the movie really must-see. The leads have excellent chemistry together. They keep the movie very entertaining during the periods without gun fights.

The social commentary is very light. If you aren't familiar with life in Japan in 2021, you won't notice it and you'll still be able to enjoy the film. If you are familiar with life in Japan in 2021, you'll have a deeper understanding of the struggle of young people entering the workforce in a declining country. And that Maid Cafes aren't just a quirky weird Japanese trend but actually kind of horrible places to work and a means of survival. There's a brief conversation behind the scenes at the Maid Cafe that does an excellent job of briefly bringing these themes to the forefront before the movie moves on to bigger things.

Overall, this is a must watch movie for action fans, comedy fans, and fans of foreign films. It gets a lot of things right.

They are really cute maid. It is not a serious action movie. Just enjoy their pretty cute violence action. Don't think serious......They kill for a living not for fun. They have to be maid in maid cafe to be employee. Killing is just a part time job. Really funny.

Interesting main characters, who are polar opposites in personality. They are quirky and kind of sympathetic, especially the less socially adept one. There is no significant backstory on their evolution into their "jobs" but just accept what it is and see how these two very different people mesh together.

I really congratulate the filmmaker for the action choreography, which is extremely intricate and very well photographed. It is vastly better than most fight scenes in films these days, even very high budget ones.

The story wasn't gripping, and there wasn't an opportunity for me, at least, to find much sympathy for anyone in the story. At least the dead were deserving of their demise. Still, I enjoyed it.

Deadpan hilarious and well paced, no time wasted on finicky worldbuilding, it just tosses you in and assumes you'll be able to swim based on ample context clues. I don't think I've seen a better mix of humor and action since Hot Fuzz, and Izawa Saori is probably the first actor in 2 generations to be worthy to take up the Jackie Chan / Stephen Chow / Michelle Yeoh mantle of funny martial artists.

The leads have great chemistry, and for all its absurdity, it remains surprisingly grounded. They manage to act like both snarky gen z kids AND skilled assassins without making those two things a contradiction. And all that is before the fight scenes, which put almost all modern action movies to shame by sheer virtue of believability and being able to see what is actually happening at any given moment.

All 3 movies are worth your time, but the first one is still the best.
