Stars: Riona Hazuki, Reiko Takashima, Jinpacho Nezu

Director: Takashi Ishii

Summary: Ishii explores his vision of Tokyo full of faceless chrome, cold lights and deep shadow.

The fetching Riona Hazuki (PARASITE EVE) stars in this Japanese crime film as Ikko, a woman who calls herself the Black Angel and is out to get her revenge on a yakuza boss named Nogi. When she was a girl, Nogi had Ikko's family slaughtered, and she was saved only because a mysterious woman known as the Black Angel saved her life. Having decided to emulate her savior, Ikko heads down a dangerous path as she attempts to destroy Nogi, now one of the most powerful yakuza bosses in Japan.
Directed by former manga artist Takashi Ishii (GONIN), the film is a visual marvel. Filled with beautiful wide angle camerawork that distorts and dramatizes the cramped urban setting, BLACK ANGEL is an excellent and entertaining thriller.
