      Audience Member Shorts. Some good, some bad. nothing really relevant. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member 4 directors plus 4 action oriented segments equals a fun omnibus movie.<p>At around 20 minutes, each of the 4 segments is stand alone from one another, which means this 80+ minute picture isn't one continuous movie. There is something fresh to see every 20 or so minutes.</p><p>Takanori Tsujimoto begins things off with <i>Kiriko</i>. Miki Mizuno starts off the killing and Ayaka Morita finishes it off. The story is simple and the action is high octane swordplay. 4 stars.</p><p>Kenta Fukasaku's <i>Kodomo Samurai</i> has the most emphasis on story and character. It is also told in the form of a black and white silent movie with a narrator narrating the story and providing the voices for all the characters. The action at the end is in the hack and slash samurai style. 3 stars.</p><p>Minoru Tahara's <i>Zan-Gun</i> has a simple story with some decent action. Thanks to the story, this segment has the most unique weapons of the bunch. Sword guns! 3.5 stars.</p><p>The finale is Mamoru Oshii's <i>Assault Girl 2</i>. At under 20 minutes, this is the shortest of the bunch. There is also no dialogue, some cheap CG, and only 2 characters. Still, Oshii's segment looks to be the most professional. It is also hard to complain when the only 2 actors are the beautiful Yoko Fujita and Rinko Kikuchi. 4 stars.</p><p>In the end, each segment has its own strengths, which makes this a film worth checking out.</p> Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
