Everyone’s favorite teenage assassins, Chisato and Mahiro, are back for another hilarious and action-packed chapter in the Baby Assassins franchise. This time around we find the girls on vacation in a popular tourist destination, Miyazaki (the birthplace of Japan, but not the legendary animator, for those of you keeping score at home), when they’re called upon to pick up a loose job for their employers. There they cross paths with freelance assassin Kaede, a man on a mission and their deadliest foe yet.

“Crowd Pleaser” gets thrown around so easily these days, but these Baby Assassin movies are the perfect prescription for action-comedy enthusiasts, curing all that ails us. Dropping most of the slacker elements from the first two films the emphasis has turned towards more comedy and more action, all for the better we feel. There are callbacks to the other films that fans of the series will really appreciate.
