I cannot fathom how this movie has such a low rating. I think modern people simply cannot handle a movie like this. The movie is an insanely realistic depiction of what life was like back in these times, not only in its brutality but in how people saw life as one big mystical ritual. You must understand that the stuff that people do in this movie is literally what people were doing back in the day.

However, the real gem in this picture is the journey that the main character takes from the beginning to the end, which reaches Shakespeare´s levels of drama and epicness. It is truly a great drama and a deep dive into the very essence of a person, his motives, feelings, hopes and fears. It is quite rare for a movie to get so into the core of a character and produce such deep tragedy with it.

The movie is also a brilliant contemplation on the nature of violence. People who have not been violently traumatized don´t understand that in real violence there are no heroes. This story is a pitch perfect demonstration of how it would really be, if you were to take on such a path, yet it manages to do it without downgrading or degrading the Viking mythology of Valhalla. Life back then wasn´t perfect, it was violent and insane, but in the end it made sense to them, because it had to. Valhalla was where warriors went, for it is only in Valhalla that one could be the hero nobody could be in real life.

Simply put this is one of the deepest movies of recent years. I think for many people the violence distracts them from an objective philosophical analysis of the story and what it truly offers. Or they have lost their capacity for the depths.

Most of the TV shows nowadays are just plain bad. Tokyo vice is the exception. It´s just plain good. I have really nothing bad to say about it. You get easily invested in all the characters and the whole mood of the show grabs you with it. Really like the aesthethic, also love the little plunge into the Japanese culture although I have never been there. Like all the actors, especially love the young Yakuza japanese guy.

While there are no big explosions and the action is limited, if you are searching for a solid drama with a little bit of crime mystery and some political powerplays between warring factions thrown in and if you are interested in the Japanese culture. Definitely worth a watch!

We watched this on Netflix with my friends one night and man am I surprised we managed to complete it, it was probably because it made us laugh so hard and in that respect it could be given a few stars, the problem is that it wasn't a comedy. Nope, instead, it was a poor attempt at something which failed miserably.

I have seriously never seen a script that was as ridiculously mediocre, cliché driven, boring and retarded as the one that this movie was based on. The acting was very average and only added to the fact that you simply could not take this movie seriously. Every scene was shot like an amateur would shoot it. Everything that happened was not believable. I mean I didn't find one redeeming factor in this whole film.

This is at the level of old b-grade action movies of the 80's and 90's, except that it was done in the 21st century. I mean usually even if there is a bad action movie now days, it simply does not reach the level of amateur camera work and retarded shots as this one. The script is usually the biggest flaw, maybe some retarded acting, but at least the directing is generally to at least some extent acceptable, but here. Oh man I don't understand how anybody could succeed in doing something so retarded.

The behavior of the people in this script was taken straight from a soap opera, the emotions and expressions were not believable, rather made you laugh. It was all just so stupid that you ended up laughing the whole movie. I'm not gonna even bother going to the details. If you are going to watch this film, prepare to roll on the floor.
