The Angels
Though this film has Yukari Oshima starring
in it – it has nothing to do with the girls with guns classic Angels. Since
that film helped kick start the entire girls with guns genre back in 1988
there have been a multitude of films with the word angel in it. Some of them
are pretty good – but the vast majority are low budget knockoffs that have
little to redeem them.
This one appears to be possibly a TV production and it had no sub-titles.
Still for the most part it was fairly easy to follow. There is not a lot
of action until the last 20-minutes – but Yukari gets a lot of face time
and a real opportunity to act and does a fine job. And how many other films
are there that have Yukari doing a love scene!
Here she is a HK cop and her sister (I think) is falsely arrested for drug
smuggling after drugs are planted in her luggage. Yukari along with her partner
try to find out who is responsible, but every lead seems to go nowhere. Her
sister breaks out of prison and now Yukari must break the law in order to
protect her. The ending of the film has a few unexpected twists and gets
surprisingly intense – but this one is really only for Yukari worshippers.
I can't find anything on the Internet about this film or whatever it is.
This may even be one of those name changes.
