Gonin 2 (1996)

Description

Takashi Ishii's sequel to the brutal "Gonin" is another two-fisted mix of blood and bullets... Instead of a quintet of five desparate men, "Gonin 2" features five very angry women, all from different backgrounds. The film begins as Masamichi Tomaya, a man with a large gambling debt is tracked down by his Yakuza lenders and forced to endure a beating and the rape of his wife. Humiliated, Masamichi sets out for revenge with only a sword but events escalate as his path crosses the Gonin, five feisty femme fatales who would like nothing better than to rip-off the Mob. A highly stylised and violent crime caper, "Gonin 2" retains the fluid and sensual camera work of the original adding even more peverse humor and off-beat characters to the mix mix making it a highly entertaining blend of genres. GET READY FOR ANOTHER NIGHT OF BLOODY REVENGE...
