Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)

Pro: The assassination mission seems to have been a success, and we can certainly have little sympathy for people who so callously planned the mass murder of what used to be human beings (or so I gather from the description of the R9 series and the behavior of the two cyborgs).

Con: The plot is linear, and the extremely graphic sex scenes add nothing to the story.
