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 Nothing new you can expect, everything is outdated, action sequences are not even that great, stakes are not even high, villian is also mid with no great reason why he became villain.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.

I really wanted to like this. First 15-20 minutes made me feel like it could be inspired by a mix of John Wick and The Crow (original). They raised the stakes by what happened to the protagonist but we never really get the payoff from the build up. He is inexplicably invincible, even when he wants you to believe he's hurt and sadly the villains never really die. Speaking of which, they are evil to the core but then they have little back stories to make it seem like they have some sort of honour. There are some cool action sequences, and performance around the Samurai culture but overall I found this movie weird and ultimately disappointing. I had to watch John Wick after to scratch the vengeance itch it gave me.

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.

I have seen bad movies before, start to finish, and it is not often that I actually consider stopping before it ends.

The sheer number of deadly blows and stabs that the main character receives, yet still continues 'figthing' with speed and strength - not to mention surviving - has made this worse that some of the worse cartoons ever.

I used to think that even the worst movie can teach me something, but this one here changed that idea forever. There were so many ways in which they could have saved this from being an absolute pile of ridiculousness that I am thinking of actually starting making movies myself, and even if I get hid in the head by a horse and I lose my brain's ability to maintain bodily functions i'm sure i would still do a better job than this.

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.
