The Shadow Strays
The Shadow Strays
Codename 13, a 17-year-old trained assassin is under suspension because of a sloppy mission in Japan. The girl built a conscience when she met Monji, an 11 year old boy who lost his mother to a crime syndicate. When Monji is captured, 13 is hellbent on setting a path of destruction to rescue the boy, including going against her mentor and the organization who hires her, the Shadow.

Timo Tjahjanto succeeds again. I like his output but I'm never loving his films as much as I would like to be. The Shadow Strays packs high energy action with heavy violence. The problem is I just don't care a lot about anything else outside of the flashy scenes. And then there's the borderline atrocious visual effects. A lot of those could had easily been practical if given the time which would had come off far more realistic. Small quips and a runtime that is too lengthy for its own good but really, the adrenaline pumping action is top tier.
