brianjc-00142 The movie was okay. It fell short because I am used to movies having depth, each character has a back story and are relatable in thier roles. Also each scene gripping you into the movie so you forget its a movie. This movie follows the new trend were if you are sitting in a movie theater texting and constantly checking facebook with no attention span then this is perfect for you. Could have gone places with this to bad.

xgray-03873 I don't even want to even think about this movie at all because I don't know what this was supposed to be at all. Does it even want to be a faithful adaptation of the anime OVA or does it just want to waste Samuel L. Jackson's time and talent?! Because if this movie was trying to make me get into the anime, then it is clearly missing the point of the original. The writing is just terrible, the plot makes no sense at all and the fact that it has little to nothing to do with the anime is just one of the many reasons why I despise Hollywood making god-awful live-action U.S. film adaptations based off of Japanese anime shows and movies.Bottom line...this movie sucks!!! Don't bother watching this movie and stick with the anime, instead.

Tyron Woods If you like highly immoral sexual themes, bad sound design and mixing and less logic than "The Purge Anarchy." You'll love this. I really don't have much more to say about it. It wasn't really well thought out. That being said: Visually pretty cool. There was some really nice shots and the picture overall definitely didn't conform to "the norm" which I always commend. Overall it could have used way more love. It felt like no-one actually enjoyed the making of this film or put any real effort into it. They had a main girl character which you could say is great- But it was so typically taken advantage of. It's like the film makers just wanted to turn her into a marketing strategy for sex. She had no character, she wasn't a powerful person. There was SO much space to turn her into a really memorable character. I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone, but i guess there is a market for it.

Tony Heck "How do you know who he is?" Sawa (Eisley) has become an orphan after her parents are brutally murdered and she wants revenge. With the help of her father's ex-partner Karl (Jackson) she starts off on a series of revenge killings but when the truth comes out Sawa isn't sure who to believe. I wasn't aware that this was an anime show until after the movie was over and looking back it makes sense. As far as this movie goes though...it just wasn't good. It is just so slow moving and not really exciting at all. I found it really hard to pay attention to and struggled to make it through. I was hoping that the end would make it worth my while but I was wrong. I hate sounding this harsh on a movie since I couldn't do any better myself but for me this was just bad all around. Overall, nothing really good to say about this except that it is nice to see a female lead in a this type of movie. Hopefully they will find a better vehicle for female action stars than this in the future. I give it a D+.
