India Eisley does a solid job as Sawa a character that is tough but still has enough vulnerability to make the viewer think she is in real danger much of the time. The story might not be the most original but as revenge thrillers go this wasn't bad. When we first see Sawa, wearing a vivid pink wig and watching clothes I wondered if perhaps the creators were just a little too keen to make the film look like a live action anime thankfully that wasn't the case if anything it looked too grim rather than excessively bright. That said I enjoyed this a bit more than I'd expected given its rating here. I must say that I have not seen the anime that this film was based on so can't say how this treatment compares. After one confrontation she meets Oburi, a young man who tells her that they were once friends. As Sawa works her way through the cartel, Aker cleans up any evidence that could point to her. Sawa is also hooked on a drug known as 'Amp', which blocks much of her memory. She is looked after by her father's former partner, Lieutenant Karl Aker. She is Sawa, the daughter of a police officer who was orphaned when her parents were murdered when she was twelve. Set in a future where the state has effectively collapsed after a financial meltdown where cartels trade children and what law enforcement there is is corrupt or ineffective an eighteen year old girl is determined to bring down 'The Emir', the leader of one such cartel.
