Martial arts purists -- not to mention fans of miniskirt-clad, high-kicking karate girls -- will welcome the tightly choreographed fight scenes and slow-motion scuffles in this film about a teenage karate phenom eager to take down her older peers. Real-life fighter par excellence Rina Takeda plays high schooler Kei Tsuchiya, who joins a rival clan when she decides that her longtime karate master (Tatsuya Naka) is holding her back.
If you like cute chicks doing karate this is for you. If you like characterization or get annoyed by every kick being repeated twice in slo-mo stay away!
