Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage, Vol. 1 DVD (Region 1)

A recent string of murders is the talk of the town. Not that murder is anything unusual, but the twin killers are targeting Hotel Moscow! The delicate balance of power held by the mafia leaders crumbles as the sickening slaughter escalates into a full-blow

A recent string of murders is the talk of the town. Not that murder is anything unusual, but the twin killers are targeting Hotel Moscow! The delicate balance of power held by the mafia leaders crumbles as the sickening slaughter escalates into a full-blown war of attrition. No quarter is given and none asked for as Balalaika and her soldiers are forced to recall a time when their deadliest enemies were children.


The second season of the Black Lagoon (2006) ratchets up the action and the violence, as the appearance of two sadistic assassins throws the underworld into an uproar. Revy, Dutch, Benny, and Rokura "Rock" Okajima can't keep away from the excitement, especially when there's an enormous bounty on the assassins' heads. Romanian orphans who developed a taste for cruelty by performing in snuff films, Hansel and Gretel Comen appear to be brother and sister, but they switch identities by donning or removing a long silver wig. Their reign of terror is brief but grisly, as crime boss Lady Balalaika dispatches them with some unwitting help from Rock and company. Once the Comens have been disposed of, Revy gets involved with counterfeiters, an international crime syndicate, and a group of hard-drinking, chain-smoking nuns.Bullets, gore and four-letter words fly. When Lady Balalaika comments, "We're all going to be knee-deep in blood before this ends," she isn't kidding. Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage is not for squeamish or easily offended viewers.(Rated 16 and older, but more appropriate for viewers over 18: graphic violence, violence against women, extensive profanity, grotesque imagery, alcohol and tobacco use, racial slurs, offensive ethnic and religious imagery; references to child pornography; suggested incest and torture) --Charles Solomon
