Mr. Long

About This Movie

So, 'Mr. Long' is this interesting blend of action and drama wrapped around a crime narrative that feels both gritty and introspective. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the tension, especially as we see Long's struggle to adapt to this quiet, unassuming town after his Tokyo job goes south. There's something haunting about the atmosphere, really – it's both beautiful and a little bleak. The practical effects during the action scenes are well done, giving it a raw, authentic feel. Long's character is intriguing, portrayed with a depth that reveals his internal conflicts. It’s not just about the sword fights; it’s about a man trying to escape his past but unable to fully leave it behind.
