Sh#tty screenplay, sh@tty acting and sh#tty direction.

Background is also not that impacting and most of the time doesn't match with the situations. Nothing new you can expect, everything is outdated, action sequences are not even that great, stakes are not even high, villian is also mid with no great reason why he became villain. Atleast action should be delivered to audience the way they promoted the movie was purely due to action but it lacks it. 4 stars because if you literally nothing to watch, you can kill your time with this, else no need to watch if you have your watchlist stacked with good taste.

Why ???? Like why ?.? Why would you try to recreate or give your Homage to these classic and fail so bad, so disappointed 😞 the climax was just meh. 1.5 hr of disappointment, no proper background story, few actor were good but not all, action sequences below MID. There was no build up for the villan too, If you still wanna watch this go ahead but don't have any high expectations, especially if you are a fan of classic likes John Wick, Kill Bill, The Crow.. This one was just bad. Didn't accept this from Toma Ikuta. Also the music was disappointing, the climax music was suppose to hype up the scene but just failed.

Worth a watch, but don't look for much dialogue from the leading role, as he gets about 12 sentences during the whole movie. Lots of action at the start, and the usual mayhem at the end, but it cools off a bit in the middle. Nevertheless, there are some well-choreograped fight scenes throughout. My main reservation with this film is that the supposedly human anti-hero comes a cross as superhuman in his ability to not only soak up masses of physical damage to his body, but also to appear unaffected by it and to continue to dole out highly acrobatic, energetic punishment to his foes. His miraculousl almost instant recovery from his supposed 12 year coma also took some swallowing. Nevertheless, worth a watch , if only for the martial arts mayhem.

I was expecting a decent movie, but the reason this one didn't meet my expectations is because it is too unrealistic and inconsistent. You can't wake up from 12 12-year coma and go straight into a physical contest (fight), or be able to stand on your feet and this lasts for months. The main character goes even further - he has so much blood, he can never die from blood loss (which can be said about both "The Raid" movies, but the thing is everything there is made less excessive than this movie and just better), but in one moment he can barely standing, the next he is acting like John Wick on PEDs. Don't get me wrong, everything is filmed well enough, the actors are good enough, it is just the entire concept that is poorly represented.

Yes there are many things about this film that are not true to life, but that does not mean this film should be any less enjoyable. Masashiro Higashide plays Kanta fase, the main character here who is sent a mission to kill the head of a clan. Unfortunatly five men in very creepy looking but at the same time cool masks do something unspeakable, and leave kanta in a coma. Somehow he survives by share luck and as he regains he functions he must go on a quest to hunt down each of the masked men and make them pay for what they have done. The action was good and pretty bloody. Good effects were used here. Sure redemption stories have been done many times before but this was a very entertaining one with good acting to add.
