Review of Naked Weapon (2002) by Filmgrinder S — 29 Oct 2010
This movie didn't really stray from the basic "child-is-kidnapped-and-forced-to-become-a-crazy-assassin" formula, but it really didn't offer a unique story. There was a blatant sexual theme running throughout the movie, as the main two characters (both female) spent a good 65% of the time half-naked, soaked in water (rain/shower/burst pipelines/rolling ocean waves/etc.
), cuddling with each other and talking about how much they loved each other. So it was pretty rampant with borderline lesbianism and slow-motion running scenes. Most of the major action scenes involved taking out 50 or so men armed with automatic weapons while the ladies were either topless or without their panties.
Oh, and lots of rituals where the girls killed each other, or so we assume, seeing as they only showed about 5 out of 200 something deaths on camera. Honestly, I wish I were part of this program (sans all the peer-killing rituals) because apparently upon completion of the course, these women were expert wine-testers.
Near the end they introduced Matrix-style fight scenes...I'm not so sure what that was about, but I guess it suits. I was mostly just confused how they broke the C5 vertebra by grabbing the thoracic region.
Also, there was a rape scene where 3 guys came in after the surviving girls drank poisoned wine. They high-fived each other, too...which was weird. Overall, I wasn't sure what the whole heterosexual romantic subplot was doing in there.
Watch it if you don't really care too much about the plot.
