Marc Z Demon City has many good elements in it. IT is a sleek Japanese action film based on the aged old martial arts revenge trope. The action, fighting, and violence are the strongest aspects of the movie. It has a sleek and cool look. The issue with it is that the backstory is too confusing and the relationships of the characters is also confusing. The elements that relate to the characters revenge against the people who wronged his family are the best parts but the main characters lack a certain depth and dimension. They do not provide enough gravitas to make it seem like they are just going through the motions. Could have been better. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Cyril Jay L I really like the movie, it is straight up revenge and the action scene and fighting scene lives up the hype; I would recommend this movie. It also well portrayed from anime to live action. Ikuta does the job well, I am eager to see more movie with this type of genre. Additionally his daughter might be a better hitman/hitlady. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/25 Full Review Abouben B What a complete waste of time. Poor character character development. Did not even try to make it realistic. Its a poor excuse of a movie. Comparing it to John Wick is just plain disrespectful. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review Carlos Taiti Y Filme: Demon City Assistido: maio/25 Elenco: @toms.ikuts_official @ami_touma_ @m_higashide Onoe Matsuya, Mio Tanaka, taro Suruga, Naoto Takenaka, Masahiro Takashima Modelo: #gangters #violencia Duração: 1h 46m Ano: 2025 Minha opinião: Filme sangrento e violento. estilo ja conhecidos dos filmes asiáticos, chinês, Koreano, Tailandes e japonês. Filmes como de Jet Li, Cho Yun-fat, Ma Dong-seok, Jo Woo, Iko Uwais, Joe taslim,.... E aqui temos mais um. O enredo ja conhecido, mas bem executado. Filmes sem uma profundidade na estória, mas que a boa construção do filme nos empolga. Shuhei (Ikuta) é o protagonista, onde ele é incriminado de matar a sua esposa e sua filhinha, porem ele permanece em coma por muitos anos e preso somando ao todo 15 anos. E quando é posto em liberdade ele vai atrás da vingança para aqueles que tiraram tudo que ele tinha. Como ele conheceu os seus algozes de máscara ele vai atrás e descobrir quem foram. MAs a coisa fica mais feia quando descobre que sua filha esta viva e quem a cria é um dos algozes agora de sua esposa. Em filme cheio de ação e boas coreografias. Os japoneses estão melhorando neste estilo de filme. Vale apena assistir? sim Nota: 7 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/25 Full Review III I It is , to my opinion, a very good movie on several levels. 1) the representation of the dark mystic of Japan is more accurate than one would have cared to admit in the first place. 2) the modern temples architecture is pretty neat. 3) the displays of Ikebana are stunning 3) the understanding of the practicality of cold weapons is indeed representative of latest trends . And is much more technical than meet the eyes. 4) the variant of the Woodman's Pal machete with wash stoned pump pepin stamping used by the main character denotes a way above average understanding of cold weapons , as several other indicators show. 5) the displays of tamashigiri under various aspects are high level. In reality much more than meet the eyes. Too many important small details show in reality very high level of understanding of cold weapons. Many self claimed experts would frown where less known experts would smile of happiness in silence and pay attention. My vote ? 10/10 . Without hesitation. The crew has a new fan! :| Hadrien Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review Matthew D Brutal violence, but a dull middle and contrived plot. Director Seiji Tanaka’s Japanese action revenge thriller Demon City (2025) on Netflix is pretty hit or miss. The opening and ending fight scenes are strong, but the middle is a drag. Tanaka needed a more neo-noir style as a director to make this more interesting. Kohei Kato’s cinematography is mostly all shot flatly with Zensuke Hori’s erratic edits not helping. The fight choreography is alright, but Hideaki Maekawa’s cheap CGI blood is laughable. The hero gets endlessly stabbed, but surviving so much is so silly. All the acting is terrible and over the top. Demon City wants to be The Crow, Oldboy, and John Wick, but it’s not even comparable to Baby Assassins. I kept laughing out loud at composer Tomoyasu Hotei’s Japanese metal score that’s ludicrously overdone. It’s a fine movie to watch once, but very frustrating because this could have been much better.
