About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, chapter-like revenge tale with stylized sword violence and a cold, driven lead; Not for you if you dislike extreme bloodshed or grim themes like sexual violence; fans of Kill Bill may recognize the influence.
Pros: relentless revenge drive; striking snowy imagery; over-the-top bloodshed | Cons: thin story at times; uneven pacing mid-film; some uncomfortable content
