Sato...foregrounds interpersonal relationships and human emotion over action and effects.

A more satisfying experience than most western super-hero narratives.

It may be more violent than your average superhero movie, but that doesn't hold Inuyashiki back from greatness.

Japan Times

[Sato] stages clashes between his two antagonists that test them beyond the limits of their flesh-and-blood humanity, while revving up the visual pyrotechnics.

Rated: 3/5

Inuyashiki uses its creative plot and incredibly well-written characters to weave an unforeseen narrative on the workings of the human mind, the harshness of the world around us, karma, grief, and love so heartful and moving that it blows everything in its demographic out of the water.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

One of the better live-action adaptations of manga/anime. Not only that it doesn't suck, it's actually good. As someone who hasn't read the manga or watched the anime series, I find Inuyashiki to be quite a unique and satisfying superhero film. Full review: https://bit.ly/2KQCSjM

This movie does a take on the mild mannered hidden hero promoting the virtues of a good heart, it has powerful themes via the robotic powers the older man hero receives and then uses to help others. The young man who also receives powers cannot comes to terms with those who hurt his mother and the injustice of the world around him makes him unable to forgive but rather to feed into hatred in his heart. The story shows the need for forgiveness rather than hatred and for the world to change its narccisistic tendencies for there are many who need a hand today and if they were helped would not turn into an angry young man on a death rampage. Interestingly the mode of killing occurs through the screens of all the technology devices such as mobile phones youth are so hooked on today perhaps a metaphor for the destructiveness of humans toward each other technology is killing the human factor off.
