izo ( 4 plus outta 5 star ) well and this movie get only 2 kind of rating . either really low or really high . there no way around it . you will have to see it for yourself to figure out which it deserve . i find the movie a bit confound at first . but it definitely make more sense after a second and third viewing . there really isn not much of a plot . izo and a dead warrior and be flung arbitrarily through time . he kill everyone he come into contact with . good and bad and he make no distinction . the movie be director takashi miike attempt at some kind of philosophical dissertation on violence and religion . pretentious . well and of course . when you get right down to it and all philosophy be pretentious . but and be the movie entertaining . yes . do it provoke think . yes . ( even if most people thought will be along the line of what the f be go on . ) imaginatively stag action sequence be pile on non stop and one after the other . occasionally the action stop for some rouse acoustic guitar and wild folk sing from kazuki tomakawa . who will either have you cover your ear or desperately search for his record online . extremely violent movie and very powerful at time . similar in style to jodorowsky el topo . if you think you will like this movie base on the description you read and you probably will . if you think it sound like bore twaddle . well and you good go watch something else .
