She is making her feature acting debut in the film, which is directed by Chad Stahelski
She initially turned down the role when Stahelski approached her, because she thought it was too big of a challenge and she didn’t have any acting experience
She changed her mind after Stahelski convinced her that he would help her prepare for the role and that she had the potential to be a great action star
She underwent intensive training for six months, learning martial arts, gun handling, and stunt work
She formed a close bond with her co-star Hiroyuki Sanada, who plays her father and the leader of a Japanese crime syndicate
She also got along well with Keanu Reeves, who praised her performance and gave her advice on acting and life
She said that working on the film was a life-changing experience and that she learned a lot from the cast and crew
