Glad you enjoyed ‘Baby Assassins’ more than I did Chuck, and thanks for weighing in with your thoughts! The only part I take issue with is your assumption that Japanese is “a language the reviewer does not understand.” I do understand it, and my thoughts still stand, but the world would be a dull place if we all enjoyed the same things!

Clearly the reviewer felt the film was beneath him. Spoiler alert… the girls were not ordered to seek part-time jobs to supplement their income but as social camouflage.
Consider this dismissive observation: “With its loose narrative, bargain basement CGI blood, high pitched yelling, and low frequency mumbling…” The script is tightly written. The blood is disturbingly realistic. Yelling tends to be high pitched. The “mumbling” was a socially awkward girl hesitantly speaking in a language the reviewer does not understand. It seems the reviewer was too busy to pay much attention to the film, anticipating the self-indulgent snarkiness he could lovingly unload up it.
