    Good Action Movie

    This movie has everything you look in an action movie I must say. It has funny parts, intense parts,goofy parts you name it. The female lead comes of as a legit badass. The movie is also one you cannot take seriously cause of the fight scenes but i am sure it was done to make it not be too serious and to make a person want to to sit and watch it to the is gore to an extent but not all that and it doesn't have nudity or even kiss scenes. It is all action. I must say everyone played their part but the cleaner is indestructible. I should hire him cause he can get the job done. Well all in all great.

    Violence + Action, that's it

    Overly edited and stylized, this movie offers cut-aplenty nonsense-Action, cheap CGI and lots of editing jumps that only distract.

    Sure it is quite energetic and pretend to have emotional tones and quirky characters, but it comes off as clumsy and awkward.. like someone's debut high-school 90s project (with music usage to match). The story and dialogue is nothing to write about, either. Ultimately confusing story-lines and boring developments. It's not appealing or memorable.. not even the charming and weird Kanna Hashimoto could save this.

    Hard to recommend, and I would like my 2 hours back.

    Manga Brutality done light and cheerful.

    I love manga. And when it's put onto screen well I am a very happy man.

    This has it all; over the top characters (dad....), ridiculous storyline, dramatic dialogue, quality MC, but above all some delightfully choreographed violence.

    While not essential for enjoying the violence it is worth following the faiirly complex story. You do get occasional updates which helps you keep up. Ultimately I like knowing who is killing who and why in some fully expected ways, some more gruesomely fulfilling.

    The acting is pretty good overall, a couple of villains not quite up to it apart from that it ranged from competent to excellent and the main character pulls off teen assassin brilliantly. All the main roles are physical and the action scenes choreographed perfectly.

    It is very manga. New storylines dropped in out of the blue and with an assumption of a fully integrated and known character. Madness being normal. Ultra violent teen assassins commonplace etc.

    If you like properly watching a film it's definitely for you. Dense fast changing but consistent story and I don't know if I mentioned, but a lot of violence.

    On a final note, a quote:

    "Tell me. What is love to you?" "A cactus!" .

    . .

    "Boring, try again"

    Dad again.

    Enjoy.

    It's Not Baby Assassins But Still Fun

    The Violence Action is not Baby Assassins but still fun. The film's title, perhaps, does not translate well. Not sure what it means. The film, like the former one, which was one of the best of 2022, is a Japanese martial arts action film about a young female assassin. The plot is more complicated than that, and involves multi layers of betrayal in the Yakuza. It is a crazy thrill ride of silliness, violence, action, and martial arts. The characters are all larger than life with many comic book like qualities. The cinematography and direction are fast moving and fun. There is underlying heart throughout. The fight choreography is too quirky, fast, and unrealistic for my taste, but there are some good ones. All in all it was a fun time and worth watching.

    A swing and a miss...

    A swing and a miss...

    Granted, I had never heard about this 2022 movie before stumbling upon it on Netflix. And with it being a Japanese movie that I hadn't already seen, then of course I had to watch it. Plus, the movie's cover/poster definitely had that unique Japanese thing going on, where you know you'll probably be in for a crazy ride.

    First of all, let's just look at the questionable and stupid title of the movie, "The Violence Action", which makes zero sense in any way, aside from detailing what the movie has to offer.

    So, yeah, even without ever having heard of this movie from writers Itaru Era and Tôichirô Rutô, then I had some expectations.

    They were short-lived though, because the storyline utterly fell short of entertaining me. And running at nearly two hours, the prospects of making it through in one piece were bleak. This movie was difficult to sit through, especially since it was lacking proper entertainment value.

    I am sure that the acting was fine, however, I just couldn't abhor from the chaotic storyline that was all over the place and yet nowhere altogether. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble, and that is usually something I enjoy in movies, but it was just not working out here, because of a lousy script and storyline.

    The character gallery in the movie was not well-written, so it was difficult to find anything worthwhile in the characters on the screen. In fact, I have to admit that I didn't care an ounce about whom they were or what happened to the as the chaotic narrative unfolded.

    Visually then "The Violence Action" was quite good. Over the top, sure, but enjoyable and counted for something. But it just wasn't enough to make up for the shortcomings of director Tôichirô Rutô's movie.

    "The Violence Action" was a swing and a miss, and it is not a movie that I would recommend to fans of the Japanese action cinema.

    My rating of "The Violence Action" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
