Baby Assassins 2 Babies

Chisato and Mahiro, best friends and skilled assassins, have been too busy stuffing their faces with elaborate sweets and reminiscing about long-ago-eaten pasta to notice the growing mountain of debt they’ve been building up. Unpaid dues for a gym they joined (and only used once) have snowballed and now four years of overdue fees must be paid or else they forfeit membership in their assassination organization. While trying to send a last-minute payment, their bank is taken hostage—they foil the robbery but miss their deadline and are suspended indefinitely for working outside of their contracts. The pair are forced to take regular day jobs while they work towards getting reinstated as hired killers, but that’s not the only thing they need to contend with… it’s double trouble when they encounter Makoto and Yuri, two up-and-coming hitmen who have their sights set on our heroines.

As with the first installment, writer/director Yugo Sakamoto delivers a spectacular action comedy with impressively choreographed fight scenes and big laughs around every corner. In Round 2, there are even more bloody kills, more over-the-top absurdity, and the chemistry, physical ability, and comedic timing of Saori Izawa and Akari Takaishi are mirrored perfectly by new additions Tatsuomi Hamada and Joey Iwanaga.
