One of the most versatile and prolific filmmakers in the industry, Takashi Miike delivered perhaps his most accessible directorial effort yet with this action-packed remake of the 1963 movie of the same name.

Building to a crescendo, the first half of the movie is all about introducing and establishing the characters before all hell breaks loose; the finale delivers a frequently jaw-dropping 45 minute face-off between the heroes and villains in a deserted and ingeniously booby-trapped village.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
