Review by gridoon2025

What looks good on the pages of a comic book or in animated form does not always translate well into live action, and this version of "Kekko Kamen" might be one of those cases. The film is extremely bizarre, asking you to abandon all logic and accept it on its own terms; but even if you're willing to do that, the script is dull and repetitive, the prolonged "lighthearted" scenes of torture and humiliation are not much fun, and the "action" scenes are poor - though the woman who plays the title character does handle her nunchucks pretty well and has one cool scene where she twists a guy's neck between her thighs. The "good girl" heroine is adorable and has a wonderful smile, but that's not enough to get this film a recommendation. *1/2 out of 4.
