Shion was trained to be a killer, an assassin for a religious group, since she was a child. It's crazy imagery seeing a little girl guided to shoot a man by a blind priest and a room full of nuns. This movie is like a lot of other Asian girls with guns movies, a genre that I enjoy, but it's a little more wild. The religious angle sets it apart as well as the more graphic sex scenes. The plot is rather odd, as the girl assassin is seduced by the man she is sent to kill. She had never had sex before and falls for him completely. Now the religious group is sending lots of men with machine guns to kill them.

Probably the craziest scene involves Shion dressed in latex and tortured with electricity by the nun that raised her. This woman's specialty is making her victims scream loud enough for the blind priest to enjoy it. There are a few cool action scenes, but most of the good action is in flashbacks. Not my favorite movie of this type, but something different if you're tired of the same old movie.
