I love the stealth genre. It may be a remnant of my childhood antics, burrowed deep in my brain. Climbing over walls into peoples private property, running away from hotel garden-keepers, playing hide and seek in urban environments. Stealth games make me re-live these moments while also allowing me to knock people unconscious and hide them in cupboards.
First, some context for this review of the fifth iteration of Team Ninja and Tecmo’s popular fighting game featuring breasts with humans attached.
Rian Johnson’s follow up to his happy-go-lucky crime caper The Brothers Bloom is a time-travel thriller with depth. Rather than a simple hitman on the run action film featuring a mullet doing splits, it’s actually a thoughtful exploration of causality, parenthood and how no matter how far the consequences of our actions ripple out to touch lives, we still have free will as a deciding factor.
