The new trailer for this month’s action movie, Revolver Lily, blends the stylish action of John Wick with the intense rescue plot of Taken, but with a unique, retro feel. The film looks set to be a hit for action fans, offering a fresh take on familiar themes. It follows a retired assassin who’s forced to use her skills to save a child caught between soldiers and criminals.
Directed by Isao Yukisada, Revolver Lily is a sleek new action thriller starring Ayase Haruka (known for Our Little Sister and Ichi). Haruka’s performance as a highly skilled assassin who’s pulled back into the world she left behind has earned her a Best Actress nomination at the 2024 Japanese Academy Awards. The film follows her as she comes out of retirement – and eliminates many enemies – to safeguard a young boy.
The action film Revolver Lily, based on the novel by Kyo Nagaura, features a talented cast including Hasegawa Hiroki (known for Shin Godzilla), Hamura Jinsei (Gold Boy), Shishido Kavaka (Trillion Game), and many others. Originally released in 2023, Revolver Lily will be available to stream digitally on January 27, 2026, thanks to Well Go USA Entertainment. You can find the official story details and a new trailer below.
Yuri used to be a highly skilled assassin in Japan, but she’s left that life behind and now runs a secret brothel.
