You might want to keep your phone out for these.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for martial arts fans and anyone drawn to the darker side of the street. The fight choreography is a big part of the appeal. A good follow-up to Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair or Zatoichi.
The mood
Gritty.
The pace
Lean, with little time wasted, at 1 hr 21 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

The first film about Kiriko - a blind woman with a sword.
