The beautiful Ueto Aya returns for more blood-spurting ninja violence in Azumi 2: Death or Love, the much-anticipated sequel to director Ryuhei Kitamura’s action-packed 2003 original. While Kitamura chose to bow out for the 2005 follow-up, the directorial reins have been passed on to the capable hands of Kaneko Shuzuke, a veteran filmmaker with three Gamera movies and one Godzilla film under his belt as a director.
Based on the popular manga by Koyama Yu, Azumi 2: Death or Love picks up where the first film left off, with the title character wandering around Japan with her good friend Nagara (Ishigaki Yuma, from Battle Royale II) in tow. But in her travels, Azumi's life is interrupted by violence once more. This time around, Azumi has found herself caught in the thick of some major internal strife within the Japanese government and is enlisted by a lord to dispose of a rival official, the evil Sanada Masayuki.
Left with no other choice, Azumi must unsheathe her sword once more and mete out bloody retribution. But things get complicated when she meets up with a motley band of crooks that just so happen to have a member who bears an uncannily resemblance to Azumi's former best friend, Nachi (Oguri Syun). Is there romance in the cards for Azumi or only death and destruction? Featuring Kuriyama Chiaki (Kill Bill and Battle Royale), Azumi 2: makes for a highly entertaining, fight-filled flick that is sure to satisfy viewers both old and new! |
