This is just a really fun movie.

The concept and story are excellent. The writing is OK, the acting might be better in the original Japanese, but the English is over the top. Some of the special effects have bad timing. These things are really by design.

The bad guys are really bad, the good guys are believable. One of the things I like about the movie is that our hero is not invincible.

I like this movie because it is just fun. Though it is not for everyone, at least the idea is fresh, I would put this movie along side Jackie Chan's "Super Cop" series. Though I prefer this as a little more believable.

Gives a boost to the term "Low Budget"
K. Brown | Walnut, Ca USA | 03/24/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I'm one of those casual film buffs who are intrigued with what folks can accomplish with limited resources. After megadoses of Terminator-esque computerized special effects, I love a good low budget flick where the film makers make the most with what they have. While this flick has its flaws, it is oh-so worthwhile to check out. Natsuki Ozawa plays "Zero Woman," an anonymous secret police agent in the "La Femme Nikita" mode. The differences between Zero and Nikita deal both the plus and minus cards in the flick. The minus is that we learn little about what landed Zero Woman into her career as a killer for the law. Such a drag, because they did give a hint of depth to her by revealing that despite her long string of successful and flawless hits, she never gets over the chill of bumping off people. She looks smooth, calm, even poetic when executing a baddy, yet she has morals enough to stay on the right side of the law, and not buy into "police loyalty" if a cop goes crooked. She is an intriguing character, which impressed me in such a low budget shoot 'em up flick. Just a little more explanation into her former life and background would have vaulted this from a slick B-Movie to a top notch low budget hit in the tradition of "El Mariachi."The plus? I have seen scores of "killer chick flicks." I enjoy them whether they be artsy "La Femme Nikitas," or cheapy "Switchblade Sisters." However, while these gals are sexy with provocative dress and implied sensuality, Natsuki Ozawa drives new meaning into the notion "steamy & sultry!" There are numerous scenes of a topless Ozawa (including one where she tears a blood stained dress off her body while driving away from a hit during the night)that are genuinely sensuous, and come off as much more than cheap T&A shots. Many of these partially-clad scenes show her sporting her gun; yes, real life violence is horrid, but chicks who shoot guns in movies are sexy!If there is one major turn off in this film, it is the repeated use of the villains sexually assaulting their victims to incite the viewers anger. If the rest of the film was not so well made, I would have tossed the DVD out midway.If you opt for the dubbed instead of the subtitled option, the dubbing is not too bad with the exception of the drugged out villainess whose voice is more than annoying: her dubbed voice is toxic, like an amped-up version of the Mrs. Swann character on Mad TV.All in all, this is an impressive flick done on what looks like a shoestring budget. Natsuki Ozawa's performance is top notch, as are most of the performers. Worth checking out."
Natsuki Ozawa is hot Hot HOT!!!

"I give all the little orange stars to the red hot mega-babe, NATSUKI OZAWA! Mmmm.. She is SO yummy looking!! The movie itself is pretty decent, it is not bad at all, plenty of violence, shootings, nudity, and the beautiful shower scene with of course, Natsuki Ozawa! It's also great to see her blasting away all the bad guys as well in style.. She sorta reminds me of an Asian Lara Croft, heh.. Fans of John Woo movies may like this..."
No wire works, no antigravity!

"I enjoyed this dvd very much.But i felt absolutely sad for the heroine and for Anne and her brother. It is refreshing to see martial art fights without wire works as in Crouching Tiger.The fighters including the Heroine did All the fights themselves without stand-in's,camera tricks,etc.A great movie.Who say a good movie must be big budget? Look at Kelvin Costner's Water World!I understand there IS a sequel-Zero Woman Returns. I want to buy it if Amazon has it!"
