Viewing Notes
The fight scenes are almost uniformly horrible. probably because they handed the camera to a methed-up monkey with anxiety issues. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST ACTUALLY COORDINATE A FUCKING FIGHT SCENE AND THEN SHOW IT. Sigh.
Also, WTF with the weird end credits that totally didn’t match the movie, AT ALL.
That said, it starts off ok, and Henry Golding is good as is Haruka Abe as Akiko. Too bad they had to suffer through a pedestrian, poorly shot film. Someone online said Golding would make a great Bond, and I have to agree.
