Film Review – Sushi Girl

The Tarantino Generation is briefly revived with the release of “Sushi
Girl,” a toe-curlingly violent journey into the black hearts of petty
criminals and their loquacious impulses. Loaded with barbed interplay
and fueled by a mystery of true intention, the movie sustains a certain
anxious rhythm that’s superbly entertaining, eased along by exaggerated
but excited performances from a group of actors who normally get the
shaft when it comes to extended screentime. While it’s nothing
inventive, perhaps a tad too derivative at times, “Sushi Girl” manages
to overcome its limitations with a polished, low-budget style and a
fiery attitude, keeping attention on the argument at hand, while
increasing brutality and a satisfactory ending ease the awareness that
the screenplay, credited to Destin Pfaff and Kern Saxton (who also
directs), is simply walking in the considerable footsteps of other
filmmakers. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
