Alright then...now to the juicy details of the film. It starts off with Zero Woman bumping off some shady dudes in a car lot, I might add, wearing this crazy and tacky outfit that can be best be described as a shiny silver zip lock bag. The killing is pretty lame with students at film schools probably able to make it look more believable (After a while, you get used to the tackiness...as explained why later). After her massacre, she checks the items being transported, and as thrillers dictate, its drugs and cash. Our sexy feminine fatal then strolls away with the suitcase and its content.
Cue opening credits while our lovely lady is taking a shower, which, in my mind, compensates for the low-budget feature. Hey, when you got a fine lady prancing around nude and scrubbing herself with sudsy bubbles and jet streamed water dripping all over her delicious body, you go with the flow and enjoy. Hey now...we're guys...its in our DNA!! Thankfully, this lasts for a good long minute or so. Its one of the highlights of the film, so feel free to be obliged to rewind many times. To put it bluntly, Saori Ono is drop dead gorgeous, and unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any other movies to see her in. What a shame.
Next scene-we see our hero Rei now on the down low, trying to lead a normal life, but she ends up getting fired at the restaurant where she worked, which though is not the first time getting canned, affects her psyche knowing that her life as a hired gun really means she has to be undercover all the time. Hence, zero identity. Anyways, while getting fired by her geeky café boss, Rei sees in the newspapers that the thugs she killed were actually cops. Hmmm...the plot thickens...okay not really.
We then go to an empty racing track, where Zero Woman is required to meet her Agency boss. Its a slick, greasy haired shady looking Japanese man who tells her what her next assignment is-only he doesn't know it yet, so basically this scene is a waste, only for the audience to see our hero with her boss, and the animosity she holds towards him and the agency. Okay? Like that's fully explained in the movie!?! Rei then gets a new job at a plant store, and she delivers a shrub to a president of a company, Mutoh, that appears to be a tech business. Some cheesy scenes between Rei and Mutoh as he helps her with it, which puts the AZN cheese in this Asian "thriller" (so far, the only thing that thrilled me was the shower opening credits) makes the foreshadowing affair pretty obvious. Also obvious is the fact that Mutoh is the bad guy of the film.
Next scene- Rei gets a call again from her agency boss, and when they meet again at the race track, her boss tells her to track a dangerous arms and drugs dealer...who funnily enough, was the man she just delivered a plant to. But by going to meet her boss, she gets fired from her plant delivery job.
Anyways, Rei goes back to follow Mutoh, and they bump into each other at the local Y in the swimming pool. Now, I would have preferred her wearing a bikini, but Saori Ono makes a one piece look damn fine. Some more cheesy lines between the two, and the inevitable dinner date occurs after Rei wins a bet.
During dinner, Mutoh is smitten by Rei (like we all are) and offers her a job in his real company, not the front company. I must add she looks extremely hot in this red dress and with her hair done. Man, how I wanted to see her stripping it off, but sadly, that doesn't happen. Anyways, Mutoh mentions the danger involved in the job, but Rei is intrigued. She says she'll come by the next day at his office with her CV. When that happens, Mutoh looks over her resume, says that he has an assignment for her and hands her a suitcase and some car keys. She is supposed to trade a suitcase for another with a drug king pin he is working with.
