BLACK ANGEL 1997 (TOKYO SHOCK)

Excellent example of Japanese 90's film noir about a young woman who is inspired by a legendary hit woman as she seeks revenge of the murderers of her father, but finds deception, double cross and mistaken identity everywhere she goes.
Produced by Shochiku Studios, this is a winner and for several reasons which includes beautiful japanese woman, lots of actions and a fair amount of bloodshed. This was a very popular film and was followed by a sequel which I will be reviewing in a few days.
Director Takashi Ishii brings the film to vivid life and for fans of the genre, you'll not be disappointed. Available in Emglish or Japanese language. My only complaint is the film runs 107 minutes and it could have very well been 90 and that would have been fine.
