    Based on the manga by Masamichi Kawabe, Japanese filmmaker Seiji Tanaka's film takes us into the Japanese mafias and sects through an anti-hero who has lost everything. It is a revenge thriller with plenty of violence and gory scenes, which, despite its flaws, remains entertaining from start to finish.

    The film opens with a visually laborious kill, where it immediately sets the tone for the film's brutality.

    The action choreography is quite well defined, the movements of both the lead actor Tôma Ikuta and the extras are natural and visually appealing.

    It is also true that the protagonist's strength and abilities are moderately exaggerated, but for an action film featuring a demonic cult.

    It's perhaps that almost supernatural edge to the protagonist's talents that makes certain scenes creak.

    If the town legend were true - a legend where a demon possesses a human to make a killing every 50 years - then the recovery of the protagonist and his inhuman strength would have made more sense.

    The manga on which this live action is based has several volumes, and that is perhaps the biggest shortcoming of this film, compacting a lengthy story into a 105-minute film.

    All that said, the film is presented in an entertaining way, with a quick and digestible viewing. Without much emotional attachment and with plenty of adrenaline-pumping action, Oni-Goroshi is an enjoyable, if bloody, film with adequate cinematography and outstanding performances.

    In terms of action scenes, the opening sequence and the sequence in the laboratory stand out. The use of machinery and the use of heights add an original and fun touch to these scenes. On the other hand, the final battle manages to introduce surprise elements that make the whole climactic sequence both exciting and dramatic.

    Hola amigos de la comunidad de Movies & Tv, espero que se encuentren bien el día de hoy. Ayer estuve revisando las películas nuevas que han estrenado recientemente y me encontré con una en particular: Oni-goroshi: Ciudad de los Demonios, una producción asiática de género drama, thriller, acción y crimen que está basado en la historia de un manga, no tengo conocimiento del manga pero la película fue estrenada por Netflix por lo que tenía mis dudas de si verla o no, sobre todo por el genero de crimen y acción que no son de mis favoritos. Así que los invito a leer mi reseña 🖤

    Hello friends of the Movies & Tv community, I hope you are doing well today. Yesterday I was checking out the new movies that have been released recently and I came across one in particular: Oni-goroshi: City of Demons, an Asian production of drama, thriller, action and crime genre that is based on the story of a manga, I have no knowledge of the manga but the movie was released by Netflix so I had my doubts whether to watch it or not, especially because of the crime and action genre which are not of my favorites. So I invite you to read my review 🖤

    Tenemos de todo un poco en esta película, principalmente el papel de Sakura me pareció muy bueno sobre todo por sus escenas de acción y como su personaje fue evolucionando mediante las cosas trágicas que le iban sucediendo. Es muy claro que los asiáticos saben cómo hacer un buen film donde se muestren las peleas por el poder entre grupos criminales que muchas veces están conectados a un poder mayor como el político. Hay muchas escenas de sangre y algo explícitas pero que no me generaron tanta incomodidad como para no seguir viendo la historia.
    We have a little bit of everything in this film, mainly the role of Sakura seemed very good to me especially for her action scenes and how her character evolved through the tragic things that were happening to her. It is very clear that the Asians know how to make a good film where they show the fights for power between criminal groups that are often connected to a greater power such as the political one. There are many scenes of blood and some explicit scenes, but they did not make me so uncomfortable that I did not want to continue watching the story.

    Su principal objetivo es poder sobreponerse de todos los daños físicos durante la película y poder encontrar a su hija a quien no ve desde hace más de doce años luego del incidente donde los delincuentes entraron a casa de Sakura. Mientras más trata de salir con vida de este grupo de delincuentes enmascarados que no tienen ningún tipo de compasión por nadie, Sakura intenta recuperar lo único que le queda en su vida y es su hija, pero tendrá que enfrentarse con muchos obstáculos y peleas.
    Her main objective is to be able to overcome all the physical damage during the film and to find her daughter whom she has not seen for more than twelve years after the incident where the criminals entered Sakura's house. The more she tries to get out alive from this group of masked criminals who have no compassion for anyone, the more Sakura tries to recover the only thing she has left in her life and that is her daughter, but she will have to face many obstacles and fights.

    Es una historia muy entretenida a pesar de que no conozco el manga ni soy muy amante de ellos, pienso que el personaje de Sakura está lleno de mucho dolor y desea poder acabar con los que están detrás de todas las desgracias ocurridas en su vida y en la ciudad de Shiota. Las escenas de acción son muy buenas, dónde se puede notar el esfuerzo y esto es algo que siempre en las películas asiáticas se destaca, hay mucha acción y si eres amante de este manga seguro podría gustarte la adaptación.
    It is a very entertaining story even though I don't know the manga and I am not a lover of them, I think that Sakura's character is full of pain and wishes to be able to finish with those who are behind all the misfortunes that have happened in her life and in the city of Shiota. The action scenes are very good, where you can notice the effort and this is something that always stands out in Asian movies, there is a lot of action and if you are a lover of this manga you might like the adaptation.

    El mal está muy presente en la ciudad de Shiota, dónde hasta las personas que parecen ser las más correctas tienen un pasado oscuro y que usan el poder con otros fines como asesinar a personas que entrometan en sus planes si es necesario. El toque de las máscaras hace que la película se vea un poco macabra y aunque la película no es la mejor de su género, tiene una cualidad y es que te mantiene viendola porque se siente muy interesante todo lo que sucede. Espero puedan darle una oportunidad a esta película y me cuenten en los comentarios su opinión 🖤
    Evil is very present in the city of Shiota, where even the people who seem to be the most correct have a dark past and use power for other purposes such as murdering people who interfere with their plans if necessary. The touch of the masks makes the movie look a bit macabre and although the movie is not the best of its genre, it has one quality and that is that it keeps you watching it because it feels very interesting everything that happens. I hope you can give this movie a chance and tell me in the comments your opinion 🖤
