Baby Assassins

Baby Assassins (ベイビーわるきゅーれ, 2021) is a Japanese action-comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Chisato and Mahiro are wrapping up high school while moonlighting as contract killers for a covert organization. Their handlers decide graduation is the right time to make them blend in: move in together, hold down a part-time job, look like normal people.

Living together goes badly. Their personalities clash on every front, and neither is built for domestic routine. Directed by Yugo Sakamoto and running 95 minutes, the film earns its premise — one part deadpan roommate comedy, one part yakuza thriller — with fight choreography mostly performed by the leads themselves. Sharp, low-budget, and better than it has any right to be. Stream Baby Assassins online on iFILM.
