Movie Summary

Chisato and Mahiro get out of Kyoto and go to a beach town for an assignment, and things seem so easy. The plan was to make this into a bit of a vacation. The girls deserve it, and with it being Mahiro’s 20th birthday, all the more reason to focus on the fun once the work is done. The problem is, a freelancer named Kaede gets in the way of the job and his skills not only best Chisato, but also lead Mahiro to one of her most embarrassing defeats.

Enter Iruka and Riku, who are tasked to make sure the job gets done. Chisato isn’t fond of Iruka, who likes to pull rank because she is older. But, together, they have to work together since Kaede, even if an amateur who is more serial killer than an assassin, is damn near a one-man army.

Review and Commentary

Highlight(s)

The Action Is As Good As Ever [85/100]

What has long been the best part of the Baby Assassins franchise is the action scenes. From the choreography of the weapons fights to showcasing what Mahiro’s actress, and/or stunt double, can do, Baby Assassins has been one of the top action movies we know. Nothing changes about that in Baby Assassins 3.

The fights Mahiro has with Kaede, in multiple rounds, remain choreographed in ways that mix the brutality of a potentially life-or-death fight with this vibe that the actors are dancing, like they studied a multitude of dancing styles. This makes for some odd movement, but as you see the talent of two fighters clash with styles that blend to the point it is a challenge to have actual conflict, you get it.

I would even say Baby Assassins 3 seems to be trying to master the balance between stylish, maybe even awe-inspiring, and brutal force. Which, while not perfected, even in its third outing, is still a sight to see.

Kaede [83/100]

Character development is by no means the focus of Baby Assassins 3, and maybe not the franchise as a whole. Chisato and Mahiro may have been with us for three movies now, but nothing about their story is at the level where the average fan can run off where they came from, why they are an assassin and things like that. The writing has been focused on building up to the next fight and performances focused on how good those fights can be.

I would say Kaede helped change that a bit. While he too isn’t given much of a notable backstory, his journey to 150 kills, learning how to use weapons and fight, never mind this chemistry he builds up with Mahiro, it feels notable, it feels memorable, days after finishing the film, and it stands out. Right now, I can’t tell you who was in the first or second movie, regarding villains, but Kaede, if this franchise continues, I think, has earned a pedestal for what future villains hopefully will be.

On The Fence

The Comedy Can Be Hit And Miss [75/100]

Baby Assassins has always been weird. The girls are generally unashamed of how odd they are, and throughout, you can expect Chisato to go from happy, making weird faces, to showing herself capable of murdering innocent people if they annoy her enough. Mahiro? She’s quiet, but at the same time, down for the hijinks Chisato comes up with, since they are the perfect straight man and zany character pairing.

But the jokes don’t always work, and when it isn’t just them but others get involved? Unfortunately, things become all the more hit and miss to the point that it could easily make people want to skip most of the dialogue and story, and get to the action.

The Quieter Moments Can Be The Dullest [72/100]

I would add that the story isn’t a strong suit of Baby Assassins 3, if not the franchise in general. When things aren’t focused on gun battles or close quarters combat, and we don’t see Chisato and Mahiro be their eccentric selves, things get dull – quickly. For one, the hook is two young women, who you wouldn’t think are assassins, killing people. Two, like the majority of action movies, Baby Assassins doesn’t treat the build as anything beyond an obligation.

Building up Kaede is an interesting watch because you see him go from someone who knows nothing about guns and is shocked by the sound to someone who is a formidable killer. One who studies the successes and where he can improve, which adds a layer to how terrifying he should be seen, never mind, it shows you how much Chisato and Mahiro treat this as a job and not a career.

But when it is just Chisato and Mahiro talking, sometimes being annoyed by Iruka, or Riku talking about how he was once a bodybuilder? Things get boring, and because of the high energy you often get with Baby Assassins, you want the scene to move on to the next big fight.

Overall

Our Rating (79/100): Mixed (Divisive)

While Baby Assassins 3 pushes the belief that the action is either getting better or holding steady, every other aspect of the film franchise is too inconsistent for a third outing. So, if you loved the past movies, you likely can enjoy this, but if just jumping in, you may not understand how this became a trilogy if you can’t stomach the fat to get to the action sequences.

Video Text

  1. Intro Slide
  2. Summary: Chisato and Mahiro thought it would be a quick mission, so going to the beach, planning a mini-vacation, seemed appropriate.
  3. Summary: However, then a freelancer named Kaede got in the way and showed himself not to be an amateur trying to make some money, but surpassing Chisato and Mahiro’s skills.
  4. Summary: Enter Iruka and Riku, two older assassins meant to support Chisato and Mahiro, who pseudo-take over to make sure the initial job gets done and Kaede gets taken out.
  5. Summary: But, with Kaede taking killing far more seriously than Mahiro, Chisato, and their peers, while killing the target will be easy, Kaede will feel like taking on a one-man army.
  • Review: Baby Assassins remains at its best when people are fighting, whether with guns, knives, or hand-to-hand combat.
  • Review: Between the flow, which feels like a Latin dance, and the brutality when punches and kicks land, it remains an undeniable highlight of the franchise.
  • Review: However, as before, Baby Assassins is very hit or miss when it comes to the comedy, and surely isn’t for everyone.
  • Review: In addition, when the action isn’t happening, and we’re not watching Chisato make exaggerated faces, things can feel dull and worthy of a deep sigh.
  • Review: For like most action movies, Baby Assassins 3 struggles when the characters are expected to do more than make a joke or be violent.
  • Overall (79/100): Baby Assassins 3 may carry over some of the weaknesses of the first two movies (the comedy, story, and dialogue), but it only gets better with its main selling point – the action.
