Marvel Comics hero is taken back to Japan.

Rating: 6/10 (22 August 2016)

The Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) for the first time is pushed to his limits. Logan (Wolverine) is taken back to modern-day Japan to say goodbye to a wartime nemesis Yashida (Hal Yamanouchi). Supposedly on his deathbed, the Japanese business magnet requests that Logan protect his granddaughter Mariko (Tao Okamoto). The story line is pretty simple although special effects are fantastic. Fight sequences are masterful and actually sustain the movie. Wolverine is back in the fight for sure; he finds himself vulnerable and must battle against his own demise, foreseen by a young lady, Yukio (Rila Fukushima), who can see the future and actually becomes a much needed ally.
Also in the cast: Hiroyuki Sanada, Brian Tee, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Will Yun Lee and Famke Janssen.
