Koroshiya 1 (Ichi the Killer) (2001)
2001 | Action, Comedy, International
A wicked cocktail of "Looney Tunes", π˜›π˜©π˜¦ 𝘏𝘰𝘢𝘴𝘦 π˜›π˜©π˜’π˜΅ π˜‘π˜’π˜€π˜¬ π˜‰π˜Άπ˜ͺ𝘭𝘡, 𝘊𝘳𝘒𝘯𝘬, and about 18 bags of crystal meth. Seldom has the term "bloodbath" ever been meant so literally, features perhaps the most gruesome and deeply unsettling throat slashes in all of cinema - and there's plenty of them. Remember that gag from 𝘏𝘰𝘡 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘡𝘴! π˜—π˜’π˜³π˜΅ π˜‹π˜¦π˜Άπ˜Ή where the little body count counter was in the corner of the screen while Charlie Sheen was gunning through hilarious amounts of enemies? That's pretty much this whole movie. Has such a primal sense of hyper, grisly fun - sets up one impossibly over-the-top scenario and then immediately tops it, rinse and repeat for 130 minutes. If it wasn't already clear that Tadanobu Asano is one of Japan's coolest and most magnetic actors then this makes the case ten-fold. He plays the role of Kakihara with an effortless, ice-cold, commanding gravitas. And that wardrobe! Just sadistically entertaining up and down, the type of film that makes you think like a juvenile psychopath.

This series just gets better and better!!

Hayden is completely comfy in her new role as the newspaper editor and her life in Destiny falls. She is even falling in love! More excitingly there is a medieval festival being held on the forbidden island that has everybody a buzz with excitement! Hayden then finds the newspaper office headquarters has been broken into and there is a dead body in the archive room and this is just the begging of this adventure can this mystery be solved?

Elizabeth puts so much enthusiasm into her stories they are a joy to read. The right amount of intrigue and mystery so you don't find yourself getting frustrated because it seems to have gone on forever and nothing is being figured out. Also, the right amount of everything else to bring it all together so nice and neatly. I can't help hoping that maybe there will be a double wedding in the future of destiny falls?

Magnificent job again Elizabeth can't wait for the next instalment 4/5
