The setting in modern-day Japan creates this atmospheric backdrop that feels fresh and distinct from the usual superhero fare. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but it allows for those quiet, character-driven moments to really resonate. The practical effects and fight choreography stand out, especially the samurai sequences, giving it a raw edge. Hugh Jackman's performance is layered, showcasing vulnerability beneath the tough exterior.
