Yo-Yo Girl Cop

This is a Japanese martial arts film about an organization that trains underage assassins to do special missions. They capture this girl, Saki, and tell her she has 72 hours to do some mission which I don’t understand at a high school before her mother is found guilty. Police can’t help them out, but these secret operatives can take care of business. Turns out the cops knew her mother well and actually trained her. So Saki fights back when bullies try to be mean to her and some of the wussy kids. There’s a secret website cult established by one of the wussy kids to help the other wussy kids, but the bullies have somehow taken it over. Not sure why the police are trying to break it up, but they are. And for future reference, a yo-yo as a weapon is maybe not the best choice. (also it’s stupid) Maybe not the best Japanese film I’ve seen, but it’s certainly not the worst. I wouldn’t recommend it, because there’s a little bit of action in it, but based on other Japanese films I’ve seen, the action was pretty sparse. I had such high hopes for this film, too…
