A manga brought to life. Knuckle Girl is a simple action flick, but the execution is spot-on. With some elements from the classic 1-on-1 beat'm up genre woven in, you'll find some cool action sequences and bad guys here, to the point where it reminded me a little of SPL (but it's not quite at that level).
Miyoshi is a good lead, the cinematography is proper, the pacing is solid and the villains are appropriately nasty. The plot is basic and there are some unnecessary twists, but that's nothing too surprising when watching an action film like this. Prime entertainment, better than I expected it to be.
