The highly anticipated sequel, “Baby Assassins 2,” is now available to rent or buy on most major platforms, and fans of the first film are in for a wild ride. The film follows Yuri and Makoto, two silly but deadly cleanup men who are tired of their dead-end gigs and want to move up to the big time. To do so, they must create an opening by taking out two employed killers, Chisato and Mahiro, the stars of the first “Baby Assassins” film.
Directed by Yugo Sakamoto, “Baby Assassins 2” is an expansive, world-building sequel that explores the friendships shared by teams of hired guns, including the queer-coded connection between Chisato and Mahiro. The film is filled with intense action sequences, including a comedic fight between Chisato and Mahiro in mascot costumes that is both hilarious and off-kilter.
In addition to “Baby Assassins 2,” there are other action-packed films currently streaming that are sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. “The Bricklayer,” directed by Renny Harlin, follows former C.I.A. operative Vail as he is recalled to service to stop an informant turned rogue from leaking government secrets. And “Fierce Cop,” directed by Chan Tai-Lee, tells the story of a dedicated police officer who teams up with a prostitute to rescue his kidnapped son.
For fans of Korean action star Don Lee, the latest installment in “The Roundup” franchise, “No Way Out,” offers more of the comic violence and crushing blows that audiences have come to love. And for those looking for a more intense and unexpected thriller, “Roadkill,” directed by Warren Fast, follows a mysterious hitchhiker and an attractive driver as they travel across the southeastern United States, leaving a trail of grisly murders in their wake.
