As a big fan of the anime I was curious to see how they would do this movie. This movie is less dark, bloody and gruesome but it is nicely done. They made a few changes to make it more suitable for movie format as well. But I would say that this movie has incredible action. One of the things that was a little strange was how 29 year old Sato Takeru plays a high school boy. He definitely can't pass as a high schooler but he plays his role very well. He captures the essence of the character he is playing. That's to be expected though he's a great actor. Everyone else is casted perfectly though. This movie has good action, good acting, and good suspense. I personally felt that the bloodiness wasn't bad but for people who can't handle blood in movies this is not for you.
