For the first time, Chainsaw Man slashes his way onto the big screen in an epic, action-fueled adventure that continues the hugely popular anime series. Denji worked as a Devil Hunter for the yakuza, trying to pay off the debt he inherited from his parents, until the yakuza betrayed him and had him killed. As he was losing consciousness, Denji's beloved chainsaw-powered devil-dog, Pochita, made a deal with Denji and saved his life. This fused the two together, creating the unstoppable Chainsaw Man. Now, in a brutal war between devils, hunters, and secret enemies, a mysterious girl named Reze has stepped into his world, and Denji faces his deadliest battle yet, fueled by love in a world where survival knows no rules.

Critics Consensus

Revving up the carnage while maintaining a perversely sweet emotional core, Chainsaw Man's big screen debut is a bloody feast rendered in eye-popping animation.

Audience Says

An absolute mic drop for the already hugely popular Chainsaw Man, Reze Arc straight up kills it in every way, visually and emotionally.

3/4

Half hot romance, half gory action, this big screen take on the Japanese anime TV series is not a blockbuster for nothing.

Its gleeful perversity is semi-interesting: what the success of these titles tells us is that there’s an audience whose desires aren’t currently being met by Hollywood pencil-pushers. Man, is it male-oriented, though.

As for those over-the-top, extremely gory action sequences, they’re tremendously visceral, the eye-popping animation, propulsive musical score and deafening sound effects...delivering an enveloping, nearly psychedelic experience.

The literal 2D explosion of sound and images–a sensory assault to some and the realization of anime dreams for others–will leave a lingering impression long after the end credits roll and the theatre lights return.

3.5/5

It’s faithful, engaging, and appealing to look at, which are certainly all good qualities. But when you’ve already had a taste of someone taking risks and succeeding, settling for something ordinary is a bit disappointing.
