I have watched the movie a second time and decided to rewrite my film review, upgrading from 5 to 7 for the vote.
It is a difficult film to follow from beginning to end because the Japanese storyline gets lost sometimes with the flashbacks and some ridiculous Kung Fu action. the female violence inside the prison is laughable but actually I can understand it. the setting for the prison inside and outside is amazing.
The fiancée was obviously a bad cop and (if) she (Nami/Sasori) did kill him, she did so because he was involved in the beginning in the killing of his sister. But why really? this is not clear.
revenge is important in this movie. The girl changes her name from Nami to Sasoria (Scorpion) after she has been rehabitated by the Hermit. Her escape as dead from the prison is bizarre but all part of the plan (isnt it?).
then against whom is she taking revenge? And who is the serious guy with the specs? The film is too much hard work to enjoy as an overall movie and Ithink its appeal is strictly oriental for Chinese/thai/Japanese. Much I don't understand about this movie but I have persevered.
