Ghost Killer

I had a good time watching this. Many scenes were incredibly funny and the action was well-rounded and original. If I had one gripe I'd be with the cheesy anime-esque oneliners taking away from the main actress' performance. For I believe she did a really good job at giving a much-needed emotional counterweight in a genre that's, frankly, dominated by testosterone and silly male power fantasies. Mainly thanks to this the film exceeds expectations, as an interesting take on male-female dynamics in a society where there is much to gain on this front, namely Japan.

It ends up being part feminine power fantasy, part silly drama and part comedic ingenuity in a roughly coherent (albeit plotless) vision of redemption for the sins of toxic masculinity. All in all a recommended flick for lovers of genre films.
