Dreaming the Reality

An expert assassin - trained since childhood to be the perfect killer - loses her memory during a mission in Thailand, and ends up in the care of a wry ex-policewoman and her boxing cohort. The equally lethal sister of the assassin pursues her, uncertain of her intentions and whether to kill her.

A great comedic boxing drama and a badass female assassin noir in one and it makes an ok concoction, though Sibelle Hu has a penchant of smoking and fighting. There's some good action, and choreography, though it can be a bit too gory, a little more than the other gun and gals genre films I have seen. It's a distracting enough and as always Moon Lee as the guilt-ridden assassin who loses her memory and Yukari Oshima as her sister -a much colder character - are great. Eddy Ko is effective as the domineering and criminal uncle of the assassins. What a gung-ho finale!
