Pretty strange movie. If you're into very dark odd movies, then this one is for you. Samuel L. Jackson, plays his typical wanna be tough roll. India Eisley plays a very watchable Bad A$$. Definitely worth a watch, if you like watching girls kick a$$

I guess it is based on the censored version...however not being an Anime fan I really couldn't tell you what the difference between the two are, I've seen neither, but that word "censor" is probably where it started to go wrong. "Censored" and "artistic vision" never really seem to get along well. Maybe the distaste was that, out the door, we were watching the edited for syndicate television version of "Pulp Fiction." Or maybe that it seemed to be style over substance and the style part of it only lasted a few minutes. In any case, it was a bad movie and a boring one. But, it had Samuel Jackson in it, and, well, I'll sit through horrible movies just because he's in it.

A good action movie with gore, violence and lots of action. First of all, it's not for everyone. It's for people who like action movies with a dark tone especially violence. Also the world is set in neo-noir style, a dark underworld and it can be disturbing for some people. So it is not for everyone. I like to appreciate the technical team, especially the Art Director and his team for creating the world the movie is in. It was believable and realistic and as a viewer I could be there with the characters. They succeeded in setting the mood. I like to point out the fact that it's really hard to make an action movie with believable action scenes. This movie did that very well. Even with the female lead they did pretty good job. The performance of the actors were good and enough for the movie demanded. Neutral actually, but that was enough. I didn't know it was a manga inspired movie, so if you like manga you may like it more, manga is not for me though. Finally, this movie is not so great, but they did a pretty good job with this. Like I said it's not for everyone. It's like a **"Give a chance and then Kill it"** kind of movie.
