About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a frantic, outrageous mix of movie-making mayhem and yakuza conflict, with big swings and dark laughs; Not for you if you dislike extreme violence or chaos like Battle Royale.
Pros: high-energy chaos; outrageous humor; bold, wild premise | Cons: intense violence; very over-the-top tone; not subtle storytelling
