Black Angels

About This Movie

So, Black Angels is this intriguing adaptation of an old manga serial. It dives into the dark world of vigilante justice, exploring the lengths people will go to when the law fails them. The performances, particularly Ochiai as Yukito, really convey that moral ambiguity. You can feel the tension in every scene, as the group navigates their own code of ethics while dealing with their captives. The practical effects aren't flashy, but they suit the gritty atmosphere of the story. Pacing-wise, it has this deliberate build-up that keeps you engaged, making those moments of action feel earned rather than just thrown in. It’s a unique take on justice, layered with some complex character dynamics, which gives it a distinctive flavor in the drama genre.
