Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Although somewhat caught between two different approaches, the presence of Shogen throughout, the quality of action in the second half, and the way the setting is vividly realized result in a movie that is definitely worth watching Rated: 6.5 Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
