This
Japanese exploitation film is a real find if you’re a fan of nudity, rape, torture
and other nastiness. It’s basically a “La Femme Nikita” rip off. In this case,
we follow petite Natsuki Ozawa as she alternates between blowing people’s brains
out and pulling her top off. “Is it getting a little hot in here?” Ba-boom –
top’s off! For such a small woman, Natsuki has pretty big jugs but she’s so
skinny as to be disturbing. Her thighs are not that much bigger than her arms.
I feel like buying her a big dinner and making sure she eats every morsel. Of
course, it would be a real chore trying to keep her away from the bathroom.
That girl should try digesting food for once!
But I digress, the film is about an ultra-secret branch of the Japanese police known as the “zero section”. Its agents are given assignments that they must complete or die trying to complete. Natsuki is given the job of recovering some stolen bonds but that leaves plenty of time for showering and sex. Actually, Natsuki confesses that the act of killing makes her hot. That’s just one of many scary confessions that happens during “Zero Woman”. She also informs us that the taste of blood is supposed to be like warm mangos but that it’s not true. Yeah, whatever… I saw the rated/cut version and was fairly shocked by the graphic rapes. Picture “What’s Up Tiger Lily” re-done by the Marquise de Sade. The movie was entertaining and fun then would slam to a halt with a grueling bit of sadism. Part of the entertaining portion was the bad dubbing, again, incredibly reminiscent of “Tiger Lily”. Interestingly enough, “Zero Woman” has a pretty good sense of humor. Twisted but funny. It’s not a bad film if you’re not squeamish. . – Tom Graney
