I just watched this on HI-YAH the other night and thought it was really fun. There’s not much action until the very end, but the two ‘baby assassins’ are likable and the climax features a fight choreographed by Kensuke Sonomura in the style of ‘HYDRA’ that is definitely worth the price of admission.
