Girl Killer Amo

During the Warring States Period in Japan, the princes from all over the country continued to conquer, and the people were separated from their wives and children, and they were miserable. It was not until the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate that the country experienced some stability. However, there are still princes who are ambitious and ready to take action, and under the surface of peace there is a turbulent undercurrent. Kohata Tsukisai (played by Yoshio Harada), who lost his beloved son during the war, established a killer group under the guidance of Master Nankobo Tenkai (played by Kei Sato), aiming to assassinate the princes who plotted rebellion. A girl who lost her parents, Amo (played by Aya Ueto), and nine boys were adopted by Tsukisai and trained as killers. Not only do they need to possess superb martial arts, but they also need to abandon all emotions and values. After several years of training, Amo and his surviving friends set out to start their killer journey full of blood and fighting... The film won the 2004 Japan Film Awards Newcomer of the Year Award (Ueto Aya) and the Most Popular Actor Award, the 2004 Boston Independent Film Festival Special Jury Award, and the 2004 Philadelphia Film Festival Audience Award.
