We can't all be Quentin Tarantino, but that doesn't stop some people from trying.

The Wolfman Cometh

Knows exactly what it wants to be and brings together a engaging dynamic between a number of genre stars to make for a surprisingly fulfilling mystery.

Rated: 4/5

Film Thrills

All of the characters are unsympathetic, and the actors all seem to get such joy out of exploring their own sadistic sides.

Sushi Girl is intermittently stylish and relatively technically competent but so painfully derivative that it's at times embarrassing to watch. Saxton really loves his Tarantino and if you do too you may marginally tolerate this violent piece of fodder.

Rated: 2/5

There's nothing wrong with paying homage to a film that went before (Reservoir Dogs), if you make it clear that's what you're doing. I never got that vibe with "Sushi Girl."

Rated: C-

The real shock of Sushi Girl is how it manages to hold interest despite its familiar moves, working to build a grim personality of its own. Saxton and Pfaff have managed to pull off an entertaining picture.

Rated: B

This was mainly just a vehicle for nudity and torture/gore, total ripoff of Resevoir Dogs too

Movies like this are getting old and lame. Can't Hollywood come up with something different than just violence and T&A?

An unexpected surprise! This film was great, every actor brought their "A" game. Mark Hammill was genuinely creepy, proving he's still a great character actor. James Duval was sympathetic and every turn in this movie was a surprise. A must watch.

A well directed, well written, VERY well acted and genuinely suspenseful movie that, unfortunately, bears a passing resemblance to something Quentin Tarantino might have made, making it a unimaginative hack-job that shamelessly rips off someone else's work. And never mind the fact that all of Tarantino's movies can be describid as scenes from other movies edited together--It's creative when he does it.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Solid crime caper, that follows several familiar beats, but nevertheless is entertaining throughout. With a great collection of character actors and impressive performances from Todd and Hamill.
