This movie adapt the manga of the same name. The original story is more centered around the psychology of the characters but I think that the movie does a pretty good job at balancing psychology and action. Unfortunately, Key and Michitaka personalities lacks in comparaison of the manga which is really a strong point in the original story. There is of course some unrealistic moves during action scenes but not a lot which, in my opinion, makes the actions scenes a bit better that other manga's adaptations.
Overall I think it is a good movie and I hope that there will be a second one given that there is some crazy action in the manga.

A good adaptation
It's Not Baby Assassins But Still Fun
The Violence Action is not Baby Assassins but still fun. The film's title, perhaps, does not translate well. Not sure what it means. The film, like the former one, which was one of the best of 2022, is a Japanese martial arts action film about a young female assassin. The plot is more complicated than that, and involves multi layers of betrayal in the Yakuza. It is a crazy thrill ride of silliness, violence, action, and martial arts. The characters are all larger than life with many comic book like qualities. The cinematography and direction are fast moving and fun. There is underlying heart throughout. The fight choreography is too quirky, fast, and unrealistic for my taste, but there are some good ones. All in all it was a fun time and worth watching.
Stellar Action, Lackluster Plot: An Uneven Ride Through Clichés and Violence
The film is well-choreographed and features some impressive fight scenes, but the story is somewhat predictable, and the characters are underdeveloped. Overall, this movie is an entertaining action film for fans of the genre, but viewers should be warned that the film is violent and may not be suitable for everyone. Moreover, despite the action sequences being slightly excessive and featuring a considerable amount of overacting from the entire cast, what truly captivates this movie is the endearing simplicity emanating from the main character, making it a genuinely compelling viewing experience.
