Golgo 13: Queen Bee  (2001)

Theatrical Release Information:
Golgo 13: Queen Bee

It has been several years since the release of The Professional: Golgo 13, the first appearance of the international assassin and shadowy man of mystery in feature films. That movie's sequel, Golgo 13: Queen Bee, paints Golgo 13 -- aka Duke Togo -- in a somewhat different light by pitting him against a female assassin who is as passionate as Golgo 13 is stoic. The result is equal parts fire and ice, mixed liberally and sometimes violently. The running mate of the man likely to win the upcoming U.S. presidential race hires Golgo 13 to protect the candidate by tracking down a vicious female assassin. Golgo 13's investigation of the woman, known only as Queen Bee, uncovers much more than what he's been spoon-fed. After discerning the underpinnings of Queen Bee's loathing for the politicians, Golgo 13 realizes that she will stop at nothing to eliminate them. The Professional must call into question his own motives in carrying out his contract and pick his way carefully through the resulting quagmire. ~ Tom Carroll, All Movie Guide
