Great premise, terrible execution.

There is only so much screaming, yelling, and over-the-top clumsiness that can be delivered before the main characters of film become a grating and annoying presence on the screen.

I love the premise of this movie. The idea that two young assassins are thrown into a situation where they have to appear to live a normal life, get jobs, be roommates etc. However, the movie gives us very little of this outside of a few drawn out and pointless eating sequences where the two leads bicker with each other about inane and meaningless things. The two characters are just annoying and it's difficult to cheer for them when they have no depth and the story is nearly non-existent. NOTHING HAPPENS.

On top of all of this every female character in the movie, save Mahiro(played by Izawa Saori), is presented as a bumbling, shrieking, clumsy, ditz who can't put one foot in front of the other without acting a fool. Outside of one or two moments of genuine comedy from Motomiya Yasukaze, the film falls flat in every comedic scene with it's unfunniness and painfully drawn out sequences of nothing happening.

It's a real shame. Give it a miss.
