I found this very intense. Sometimes it was like watching a movie. My only issues were that it was occasionally slow and unfortunately extremely violent. If you like action and thrillers I highly recommend this.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this one. It's a gritty noir story about an eternal war of assassins and the people who get caught in the middle. Somehow it managed to merge brutal violence, off-beat whimsical humour and genuine emotion into a package that was more than the sum of its parts.
