Try to stay awake!!

"This may confound some,but I thoroughly enjoyed the first Zero Woman dvd.Action,beautiful actress-and vile villains getting a good payback.Not so in this one.The plot had a good idea and let it fall short.This movie is SLOW,and uninteresting.Saori Oko is attractive-but went to the Spock school of acting,the other characters apparently went there as well.
If you are looking for something along the lines of the first one,Beatiful Beast is Z.W.Returns antithesis.If you purchase this-I hope you are entertained more than I was.
Decidedly more of a tragic-drama than 'hard boiled action'"

"I'm not sure if this is the same Zero Woman as in the first movie, but judging from the opening scene of her dispatching some drug dealers, she's in full control, without saying any lame questions about believing in heaven.After delivering a Silk Jasmine plant to a man named Kayama, she is ordered by her boss to keep an eye on him, as he is suspected of selling confiscated guns and drugs to corrupt police department officials. Her job is to get close to him and find out who his connections are. She discovers that like her, he doesn't officially exist, and this gives him the ability and desire to control his own destiny. Kayama in turn is attracted to her, making his secretary, with whom he was dallying, jealous.A funny scene involves her looking through the classifieds and speaking to herself aloud, hoping for something that would use her experience as a killer. She gets a page from her boss. "Oh, a hit job!" she exclaims, leaving the woman next to her aghast. However, her taking on fake identities at part-time jobs results in her having to recall her assumed name. Someone has to call her name more than once before she remembers, "Oh, that's me."Well, at least it's better than the first movie. Saori Ono is tougher than the first Zero Woman actress, although not as pretty. She's able to defeat her opponents with more consistency than her predecessor. The relationship between her and her boss is akin to La Femme Nikita or the tepid remake Point Of No Return. Maybe that's her story-she was convicted of a crime, had her death faked, and became an assassin, but we never learn her background. Lots of people get shot, and there is a memorable scene involving a power drill.This was the second of two Zero Womans done by Tokyo Shock. The series was continued by Asia Pulp Cinema, presumably because of its bigger budget. I haven't seen those films, but if they're any better than the first two Zero Womans, I'll know why."
