This is How Movies Should Be Made

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Reading the reviews here, I wonder if I watched a different movie. Honestly I think this movie is a waste of time. Yes the protagonist looks hot with a gun but thats about it. This is a B movie and IMO a bad one at that. The story is of course formulaic. Girl out to avenge the murder of her sister by some yakuza pimps and the man who unknowingly saves her then must choose between old friendship or his feelings for her. The starting was good then it went downhill. The subsequent action scenes pales in comparison to the simple opening sequence. The ending felt like they run out of budget, anti-climatic and for an "action" movie there was no action. Not recommended.....

The formula is simple: take a long-legged Japanese beauty like Kaori Shimamura, who looks really good with a gun in her hand, and can also display a magnificent body during the sex scenes, and put a shell of a story around it.In this case, we have our girl trying to hit the head of the Yakuza for killing her sister.There is lots of shooting (both bullets and sperm) and blood enough to appease the vampires in the audience. There is also some really strange action that will best be left for the viewer to discover.One of the best I've seen.

While it is marginally better than the other two entries in the "XX" series I watched recently ("Beautiful Prey" and "Beautiful Weapon"), "Beautiful Beast" is still barely worthy of a recommendation. The usual ingredients are here: lengthy sex scenes, kinkiness, torture (including some acupuncture!), a few gunshots, and of course a violent end for most of the characters involved. The action is limited, the pacing is patience-trying, and the ending is anti-climactic. Kaori Shimamura is beautiful indeed, but the most interesting character in the film is her newfound "boyfriend", who has to choose between his fascination with her and his loyalty to his former Yakuza associates. Girls-with-guns fans looking into the Japanese market will be better served by most "Zero Woman" films. (**)

This is a great movie!!! It deals with a serial killer; The suspense is quite good and does not follow the Hollywood convention so you don't know what to expect. Plenty of graphic well done sex scenes. Beware that there is also a graphic rape scene. Still a 9 out of 10.
