Masumi in Yakuza Princess (2021)

Review by Top_Dawg_Critic

Yakuza Princess

6/10

Could've so easily been great...

...had any one of the five writers actually created a screenplay that wasn't so choppy, derivative, incoherent, convoluted and riddled with plot and technical issues.

In the 111 min runtime, there was too much walking and talking with hardly any depth to the story or its characters. It had too much filler and very little substance. Many scenes were too long and/or unnecessary. Was this even edited? The scene transitions were horrible. And all that nonsense mystery didn't help the story either.

What this film did have going for it, was decent cinematography, well choreographed fight scenes with awesome gore effects, and excellent performances. Considering this was MASUMI's first full length feature film - as a lead, with only three prior small T. V. roles, she nailed it, wow! I can't wait to see her in more action films, she's a natural. The location and production sets were on point, and the score was fitting and not overbearing as it usually is in many B films.

Had this film been cut down to about 90 mins, with better editing and scene transitions, and more character development instead of all the filler, I may have given it an 8 or 9, but as is, it's only a generous 6/10 from me.
