Deconstruction of the samurai genre
The first word that came to mind after the credits rolled was 'intense'. What started of as a classic samurai tale quickly escalates into something... else, to the point I'd call this a deconstruction of the genre.
The choreography of the fights was great and even though a lot of it was a bit shaky due to the digital camera they've used it always felt engaging to watch and really fast! My eyes barely kept up at some movements.
There area a few scenes I can't quite wrap my head around yet and I guess you could argue some of the acting was a bit over the top but none of that bothered me.
Due to the short length 'Killing' never has any real down time and keeps thrilling throughout, never losing it's momentum.
The ending sequence will definitely stick in my mind for a while...
