My rating:  7/10

Will I watch it again?  Yes!

Holy crap was this a fun piece of low budget goodness that I didn't see coming!  How is it possible that star Karin Mani only starred in one movie (this one), kicking ass so nicely and doing a good job acting (more so for someone with so few credits) and not getting signed on for more kick ass pictures?  I'm stupified.  She's fantastic.  No only is her fighting swift and powerful but she's smokin' hot to boot!  The pacing is nice and brisk and there's some great lines, fights and a lot more great nudity (including her) than you'd think there'd be.  I'm going to have to call a special council meeting and get the fellas over to the house to watch this.  It's too much fun to keep to myself.  And so are these...
