Anderson O @Platinum2027 04/25/2024 Incredible 5th installment and it gets more tense. Once again this isn’t for kids. Thrilling and Patient series. One of the greatest 5th movies I’ve seen in any manga adaption. 5 assassins to represent the 5th installment of the series of movies, with 5 clues and each with a 1/5th of a payment. This is Greatly overlooked and Amazing Franchies of Movies. The G.O.A.T. In manga/comicbook franchises is my opinion, non have disappointed in character development, screenplay action, music to set tone, etc. See more Johnathon W @Hoppynsc 05/06/2021 Another epic entry in the franchise that has Lone Wolf & Cub hired to assassinate a Buddhist priest who holds some secret documents. The cast is solid, with both Wakayama and Tomikawa excellent as Lone Wolf and Cub, particularly when Diagora gets mixed up with a pick pocket. Behind the camera, director Eiji Okada delivers some first rate action along with a nice bit of drama (Ogami's final mission is pretty harrowing). Overall, another solid entry in this samurai franchise. See more Scott R @ScottR 10/11/2020 Much better than some of the previous. Some spiritual qualities are at play with the priest and his speech. The pick pocket was an interesting sequence as well. See more 07/29/2018 Very chilling implication of what happens at the end. You are led to wonder if lone wolf and cub are either dead and we are watching them go to hell.. Or how in the world they travel (Safely) By sea in that little dingy of theirs. You WANT to follow along with them to see what happens.. But there are only a few movies so.. farewell freinds. No i dont know if this is the 'end' movie in order, Its very hard outside of wikipedia to find out what order the movies go in. Buut.. This one gives the most ominous and defining 'ending' to Ogamis adventures in terms of the movies, It would appear.. black panther the movie sucks. See more 08/22/2017 Not the strongest entry in the series, but it's got a lot of cool elements, like that crazy final battle with the masked men, cub getting a chance to shine for once with his protection of a pickpocket, and the duels/tests with the 6 messengers; the one resulting in fire was especially Haunting. See more Sean L 04/19/2017 Where the Lone Wolf and Cub adventure has been delightfully frenetic up to this point, the fifth film is a decided change of pace. Much more deliberate and pensive, Baby Cart in the Land of Demons spends an unusual amount of time in one place, toying with a more nuanced (at times even confusing) story, while also fleshing out an important supporting character. Young Daigoro, stone-faced son of the wandering master at the center of this great storm, finally gets his close-up and proves to be every bit as determined, soft-spoken and unflappable as his father. His scenes are the ones that stuck with me afterward, resonating in a way that felt fresh while also remaining loyal to the saga's identity. Daddy, meanwhile, has his hands full with a difficult five-pronged onslaught and a pair of complex, intertwined kill contracts. His actions at the film's climax once more cast the character in dark grey fabric, a recurring theme for the series, and prove that (where duty is concerned) he hasn't changed all that much from the very first time we met. Less visceral and rubber-tendoned than any of the earlier entries, and perhaps overly ambitious with that tangled primary storyline, it's good stuff if a touch below the standard its brethren have thus far maintained. An outlier in many ways. See more Read all reviews
