Terrible

Rating: 1/10 (21 April 2004)

Plot: kill a list of people (terrible) Dialogue: mundane and unappealing. Martial Arts: Awful. As a practicioner of Iaido(The art of the sword), I must honestly say that i have never seen such blatant misinterpretation of japanese culture before. I didnt see one swing which would have actually constituted an actual strike. There was hardly anyhting japanese about the movie, all of the moves were from chinese martial arts.
This movie is out purely for shock value, and anyone who says it is an "artistic masterpiece" has obviously been swayed by the "fancy colors" and "hip music" I am shocked and appalled that this movie is in the 85 spot.
