Live action anime that's full of action

Potentially unpopular review starting in 3,2,1...I think this is a better watch than the anime. Now I love anime and I've seen the original but do I love it? No - it's good but not great. Now this live action version delivers on all fronts. Visually its stunning and all the action sequences are great. Now my review is not the place to get into the issue that is whitewashing. Scarlett Johansson does a brilliant job and gets all the mannerisms right - even her walk BUT could an Asian actress have done the job? Of course. Speaking of Asian actors Best Takeshi is awesome as usual and steals every scene he is in. Well worth a watch.

Kudos

Great fight choreography (1 more)

Amazing action scenes

I'm gonna need guns, lots of guns!

Another action packed John Wick film. It has more action scenes than crammed into 2 or 3 similar films. It's what we expect with the series now, very simple on the storyline with tons of fights, shootouts, chases. I would say this is better than the last one. The fight choreography is amazing, fast and frenzied without actually being edited so that you can't make half of it out. You can see every move, block, punch and kick in this. Whether it's with fists, knives, guns or even books it is just a higher standard to most action films.
So if you want a violent non-stop action film from start to finish this is the film for you.
