The night he is released, the men he protected with silence celebrate his freedom with a congratulatory dinner. The meal is a lavish array of sushi, served off the naked body of a beautiful young woman. The sushi girl seems catatonic, trained to ignore everything in the room, even if things become dangerous. Sure enough, the unwieldy thieves can't help but open old wounds in an attempt to find their missing loot, with violent results. (c) Assembly Line

Critic Reviews

Rob Salem, Toronto Star
We can't all be Quentin Tarantino, but that doesn't stop some people from trying.

Paul Chambers, Movie Chambers
There's nothing wrong with paying homage to a film that went before (Reservoir Dogs), if you make it clear that's what you're doing. I never got that vibe with "Sushi Girl."

Brian Orndorf, Blu-ray.com
The real shock of Sushi Girl is how it manages to hold interest despite its familiar moves, working to build a grim personality of its own. Saxton and Pfaff have managed to pull off an entertaining picture.

Mark Bell, Film Threat
The power of great performances; Sushi Girl had me hooked from beginning to end, and I can't wait to see it again.
