About
You may enjoy this if you want a grim, politically charged assassin story with bursts of swordplay and gore, similar to Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance; Not for you if you need nonstop action or grounded realism.
Pros: grim political edge; strong opening action; memorable gore moments | Cons: slow middle stretch; far-fetched plot turns; less engaging than original
