    mindless drivel

    Bred all her life to be an assassin, Shion is the best at what she does. But when she develops a conscience for no reason whatsoever, choosing to go home and masturbate with her gun rather than kill her mark, her clergy bosses ( Yup they're involved in this too, the bad clergy is pretty much a groan-worthy movie cliché now) are none too happy and mark her for death. This flick was somewhat of a chore to sit through and really doesn't make much sense if you think about it. Pure mindless drivel.

    My Grade: D
