Maybe as close to a perfect exploitation movie as we can get, this flick doesn’t wink or nod at the audience, it punches it right across the face.
There are no good guys, only the bad, and those that get in the way of the bad. Part way through the movie you can just sort of tell that NO ONE is going to get through this in one piece.
Even Miki Sugimoto, the Zero Woman Cop sent to rescue a politician’s daughter from some nut cases, manages to simply outlast everyone else. She takes plenty of abuse along the way, some of it hard to watch… and yet you can’t help but watch.
Eiji Go is a psycho here, with Tetsuro Tanba as the ice cold Politician who’s daughter has been kidnapped.
A classic of it’s genre!
