I don't usually write reviews, but I thought I should say something since no one else has. I just watched this on Netflix, and I thought it was a fun lil' movie. The primary focus of the film is the relationship between Mai and Mio, or more accurately, how they help each other. Mai, having been betrayed by her partner seeks to use Mio to help clear her name. Mio is a strong, young girl who struggles over her use of karate when she gets angry.

It could have done with a little more development, all around the movie felt like it was establishing plot points without really taking the time to develop them. The bad guys were very two-dimensional and uninteresting. Even our main characters didn't get the chance to be fully explored. We were introduced to different aspects of their personalities, but didn't get to fully understand how and why they were important to who they were. Mai and Mio's relationship could have also used more development.

That being said, I did enjoy the fluff. It's not a movie that should be taken seriously, but if you're in the mood for something fun that doesn't tax your brain, then you should enjoy the 82 minute film.

p.s. I don't really understand why the big bad boss man was dubbed over in English. It was in no way relevant to the story that he speak English.

p.p.s. I rated the music with a 7/10 because it's an average score, and unless music is exceptionally good or exceptionally bad, I don't really notice it.
