The opening scenes just put you right in the middle of it all. My first impression about it was "what is going on here?" as the action scenes raged on. Must admit it was pretty shocking at first. Twee and Ballot, what an unusual pair in an even unusual place. Well, it's not that surprising after all, considering they aren't very human. It was really nice watching them have fun and relax. On the other hand Ballot couldn't seem to get rid of her bloody past. Seems like in this sequel we get to find out more about how all of it started.
After all the killing came peace and tranquility and then again came the killing. It was pretty disturbing at some points. Guess that was pretty much because of Boiled, a former experiment that managed to set himself free and can't get over a grudge against his doctors and Oeufcocque.
The casino part felt out of place, but was also interesting to watch even though nothing much was happening except some psychology at work. Luckily it was followed by intriguing info about Boiled, especially considering his past. All in all it was a pretty good movie.
Plot
Rune Balot is weeping and trying to save both herself and a severely
injured Oeufcoque from Shell's assassin Boiled. Luckily for her, Doctor
Easter finally shows up in the Humpty Dumpty – a special militarized
vehicle made for protecting those in Welfare cases if their lives are
threatened. From there they go to Paradise, where the Scramble 09
technology (and Boiled's rebirth) was developed. All of the secrets of
the past of Mardock City (and possibly its future) are revealed in this
riveting second part of the Mardock Scramble series, upping the stakes
and making Balot choose between justice for herself or peace within
Paradise instead.
