With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at anyone who likes watching someone settle a score and anyone who likes a world with its own rules. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning. Sits nicely alongside Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Lively and easy to follow, at 11 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
A young Japanese orphan, and her mystical friend, exact poetic justice on a malevolent samurai lord.
