Ginji the Slasher

About This Movie

So, Ginji the Slasher—what a trip. Takeshi Miyasaka directs this gritty tale that blends action and drama quite well. The atmosphere is heavy, reflecting the weight of Ginji's past and the brutal world he navigates upon his release. Riki Takeuchi delivers a raw performance as Ginji, who’s haunted by his actions yet oddly sympathetic. The pacing is pretty relentless, keeping you on edge as he confronts not just his former life but the specter of revenge looming over him. The practical effects, though not overly flashy, add to the film's visceral impact, grounding the violence in a way that feels real. There’s something about the themes of redemption and survival that linger with you after the credits roll.
