There is no spark of inspiration to Yukisada’s images... Instead, all we get is cut-rate melodrama.

Yukisada quickly elevates the material with raw images of tangible, painterly power and a bevy of well-mounted, tightly calibrated action that recalls the heroic bloodshed work of John Woo and Tsui Hark.

5/10

Some impressive action sequences aside, Revolver Lily is a mostly dull war drama that struggles to stand out in a genre that has plenty of notable entries.

3.5/5.0

As a movie, Revolver Lily moves just as briskly as Yuri Ozone herself takes stealthy, decisive action. It resembles the train that kicked the action off: fast-moving, with a destination clearly in mind.

B

There's a lot of convoluted exposition in between the action sequences in this Japanese period thriller, but that action is mostly strong enough to push past the narrative lulls.

In between the action sequences, I enjoyed the backdrop and the quiet dialogue. But I must admit, I looked at my watch more than once to see how many more minutes this movie had. Excellent photography

This is the latest release from WellGoUSA and it is a well done action thriller. When Japanese filmmakers get it right their films are unmatched. It is a terrific period action piece and worth watching. The story is set in post WW I Japan. It centers around a semi-retired female Assassin, played by Ayase Haruka. She is the heart of the movie. Her subtle, yet complex performance, is top notch. It is rare to have a character with such composure, and with only glimpses of her back story, command such a central role. She is masterful here. The cast is terrific. Hamura Jinsei gets it. He is a young actor with great promise. He plays his role maturely and is one of the best young actors I have seen. Hasegawa Hiroki also shines here in a pivotal role. The action scenes are great. The gun play is paramount in this action film and well done. The martial arts has a, surprisingly, Chinese, influence; however, these scenes were well choreographed. The film has some strong messaging.
