Sawa, “Angel of Death”, is a female assassin that will kill her targets and leaves a flurry of white feathers. Sawa is the secret identity is Monaka Noguchi. Will Monaka meet her father again or will he be dead? Will someone find out who Sawa's identity? What I don't like about this movie is the ending, besides that it's alright. It's like the scene in Star Wars Empire Strikes Back. Where Darth Vader tells Luke he's his father, and the credit rolls.   Rating: ☆☆☆☆              See it
