Member Rating:  
Legend has it that when Mikura was born she came out of the womb with double-fisted pistols and a heart of stone -- but even the most hardened gun for hire can't help but feel the heat when a high-stakes kidnapping takes a turn for the worse in this action anime from Kite creator Yasuomi Umetsu. Though Mikura's crack team of specialists makes quick work of kidnapping baseball-team owner Momokichi, the team is soon surprised to learn that their target is not only a high-profile sports magnate, but a powerful crime boss as well. As Momokichi's henchmen close in on Mikura's team from every side, the stealthy assassin will soon meet her match in the form of her target's daughter, Momomi -- a vicious killer who will stop at nothing to ensure the safe return of her father and the death of those who took him from her. A television version of of Mezzo Forte called Mezzo DSA was released in 2004 without the explicit sexual content. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Clocking in at just under an hour, this "movie" is really just 2 pilot episodes back-to-back. However, it is an entertaining, action-filled hour. I admit, I saw the director's cut of the movie (which Blockbuster probably wouldn't carry due to two NC-17 level sex scenes), but as far as I know it's almost identical outside of the deletion of said (rather unimportant) sex scenes. Even with those deletions though, please be warned: this is not a kids movie. It has nudity, swearing, and lots of over-the-top violence. That said, it is definitely recommended to any adults who even casually enjoy anime (I really have only seen and enjoyed Cowboy Bebop and Evangelion - hardly an anime buff). Check out the series too - it's also quite enjoyable.
