       After the financial and critical success of YojimboYojimbo. By making these changes, mindset in the film, is replaced with a kill at all cost cynicism in the screenplay of Yojimbo is in a class of its own. If Yojimbo had never been made, would stand alone as a respected chanbara is a non-stop thrill ride for anyone who enjoys a good samurai story overflowing with believable action.

Beautiful Boxer, a review by Rich

boxing through Thailand...



Based on the true story of Thailand's famed transvestite kickboxer, Beautiful Boxer is a poignant action drama that punches straight into the heart and mind of a boy who fights like a man so he can become a woman.

A fairy tale - literally, based on truth. Over-sentimental and gentle, it is neither action, drama or impacting. This film bored me senseless, and only warrants a 3/10 due to the brilliant cinematography and convincing acting of the lead role.

My Thoughts:
Once again this is another episode I enjoyed. We are really on a role here. The series has been up in  quality for several episodes straight.  I like the whole consequences from the spell thing. And of course there is the first look at the returning Connor from the hell dimension.

My Rating:
