Viewing Notes

Shinichiro Ueda’s latest isn’t really a follow-up to his global sensation ONE CUT OF THE DEAD since he’s made another film in the period between that and this one but it’s being billed as his next. Not sure this one reaches those same lofty heights but it’s damn sure entertaining and very funny. I will be watching this one again.
