In conclusion, “Crows Zero”, although a bit uneven and long, is a quite entertaining and watchable movie. Image-wise, there might not be any revolutionary shots, but the visuals are nice and clean and do what is expected from them. In a role far from romantic Rui in “Hana Yori Dango”. Unfortunately, it doesn’t.Īcting-wise, the actors are in line with the genre,Īnd the fact that it is a manga adaptation. Even then, the love story could have given a bit of depth to the teenage girls. Finally, there are almost zero female characters and the very few ones who are seen on screen are the love interest/damsel in distress. The fight scenes are also a bit too long. But (because there is always a but), the humour is not strong enough, there are too many characters and it takes a while to understand who is connected to who, who is loyal to who, and what the stakes really are. Crows Zero (ZERO, Kurzu Zero), also known as Crows: Episode 0, is a 2007 Japanese action film based on the manga Crows by Hiroshi Takahashi.The film was directed by Takashi Miike with a screenplay by Shgo Mut, and stars Shun Oguri, Kysuke Yabe, Meisa Kuroki, and Takayuki Yamada.The plot serves as a prequel to the manga, and focuses on the power struggle between gangs of. All of the above make the movie somehow enjoyable. A bonus point could also be added for fight scenes in the rain, which, let’s be honest on a guilty pleasure here, makes the scenes more fun. But then, will you ask, what is the deal? Action, blood, humour and yakuza are the perfect recipe. But fear not, because for reasons of whacky totally crazy over the top yakuza plot, Genji gets himself a fanboy, who is determined to help Genji become friends.
