Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Shoji implemented a very fast and occasionally abrupt style of editing that benefits the actions scenes the most, additionally giving the whole film a quite rapid pace that suits the punkish aesthetics nicely. I Dec 23, 2019 Full Review Mark Schilling Japan Times As Kazu, Maiguma nails the punk persona perfectly, from the challenging sneer to the rangy physique that looks sculpted from regular street-fighting, not hours in the gym. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 20, 2016 Full Review Matthew Anderson CineVue Ken and Kazu is a slow-to-boil Japanese crime thriller from writer-director Hiroshi Shoji that shows momentary glimpses of genuine promise without ever bubbling over or really gripping a viewer as it should. Rated: 3/5 Jul 20, 2016 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film There's plenty here to suggest a career in action thrillers lies ahead for Shoji but he needs to work on making his actors grip as tightly as his fight scenes. Rated: 3/5 Jul 20, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Ken and Kazu [Shoji, 2015] Hard to watch. Pays off in the end. 7/10 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Young Japanese filmmaker, Hiroshi Shoji's "Ken and Kazu"(?????) made of 3 million Yen (about 30 thousand dollars).
