FEMALE PRISONER #701:SCORPION (ARROW)

Now this is a wild one indeed.

Meiko Kaji stars as Nami Matsushima, a young woman who is used and then betrayed by a detective she was in love with.

She is sent to a womens prison, after attempting to stab he ex-boyfriend, where violence and corruption prevail. Inside of the jail Nami is always having to fight for her life against various inmates and prison guards.

As is usual in this seriers of films Nami does not have a lot of dialogue, but the viewer can see the hate in her eyes as well as every other emotion. That is the sign of a great actress.

Sugimi (Natsuyagi Isao), who is Nami's former lover and the crooked detective plots to have the Mafia kill Nami in prison so his corruption will never be discovered.

There is a lot of violence in this film and the entire movie is shot in a very beautiful way. The scenes where Nami is thinking about her past with Sugimi is wonderfully done. I can't really describe it, but see it for yourself.

This is the second film in this series I have seen, and both have been very good. This is a highly recommended film that action fans shouldn't miss.
