Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

phanthinga Versus in (2000) is a action,horror,fantasy and comedy movie direct by Japanese director Ryuhei Kitamura whom i really like after watching his American work like The Midnight Meat Train and No One Lives.After watching this movie i have to say what a interesting way to get into the mainstream audience and the world.Versus is a B-grade movie and it not trying to do something other than that,it chessy,over the top and ridiculously amazing.For a movie it has everything you dream of : yakuza zombie,John Woo awesome gun play,wuxia sword play,an bass ass main character and a cast full of people acting like their on some kind of heavy drug.As an anime fan like myself i really like the plot of this movie and i wish they explore it more but too bad it end with a cliffhanger.

David Graf Versus is a breathtaking cross of martial arts action and horror with a liberal dose of dark comedy thrown into the mix. The film features gunplay, sword fights and gore galore with the classic battle of good versus evil as the backdrop. A group of Yakuza meet mysteriously in the Forest of Resurrection where the dead are returning to life and a struggle for the ultimate power ensues. As a piece of stylish violence this film works brilliantly and the lack of substance goes unnoticed as hugely entertaining fights occur in quick succession. If you like your action slick and your zombies bloody then watch Versus and give yourself a treat.Please, Mr Kitamura,forget about Lupin and do the sequel!!!

gmleafs I have seen a lot of martial arts movies and I am willing to put up with a certain lack of dialogue, bad acting, and poor plot but this movie is ridiculous.When I read that this movie has zombies, hand-to-hand combat, sword fighting and guns I thought to myself how could you screw up a movie like that. Well Versus does just that.The fighting is bad. The scenes are very choppy and it looks more like an American action fighting sequence then what I've come to expect from an Asian fighting sequence. Not only that, but the fight sequences had poor sound and visual effects. I get that this movie is suppose to be like an anime, but even then this would be a poor anime film. The shooting scenes are just as bad. It looked like the characters have never fired a gun in their life.The acting is just as bad. Again, since this is an action fighting movie I don't expect great acting but wow this was bad. To be fair, the lead character was okay, but everyone else looked as dangerous as Napoleon Dynamite. It is not believable to have 120 lbs nerds pretend to look badass. The dialogue was by far the worst. I watched the subtitled version and it seemed like the dialogue was written at a grade 1 level and was delivered at a level lower.I'm not even sure how to comment on the plot. It's easy to follow, but is just horrible. I think they were going for a Highlander movie plot, but if Highlander Endgame gets a 4.4/10 then this movie should be below that. By the end of the movie you really don't care what happens, which favours the ending because it barley makes sense; but by that point in the movie you are so tired of watching it you find yourself saying "sure I guess that makes sense, just please end now." Overall, I would not watch this movie again. In fact, I regret watching it in its entirety once. I don't know why it is rated so high, but this is by far the most overrated movie I have ever seen to date. I have seen independent films with a cast of nobody's and very low budgets produce decent movies so there so that is no excuse for this movie at all.

David Santos Let me start by saying that this is the craziest action movie I have ever seen. I don't mean crazy in the sense it has crazy action scenes (it has), or crazy characters (it has..) or a crazy story (it does have...), I mean crazy on the freaking whole, the whole movie is crazy and has a crazy concept, and that is what made it interested and entertaining for me.So basically a group of convicts escapes into a forest to rendezvous with another group of gangstas, the thing goes wrong, there's a double cross, a gunfight... the usual. However, that forest happens to be one of the 666 portals to the other world. I know right? So what does this mean? That the guys who are gonna get killed... aren't really going to die! This gives a whole new meaning to the idea that people die if they are killed.And this brings us to the best shoot-out action and sword fights of zombies versus yakuzas you will ever seen! Well, then there's something about this guy trying to figure out what the hell is going on, rescuing a kidnapped girl, being the chosen one and fighting the forces of evil... at the same time. It's one hell of a complex plot in a plot less movie... What?? This movie is incredibly gory, funny and fast-paced. It IS action-oriented, but it's so much more! It's also a very crazy film if I haven't mentioned it yet and if it's going to do anything to you other than tell you in your face "it's all about the fun" is to entertain you for 2 hours or so.If you like some new and crazy ideas for a not-stop hilarious and action ride, watch this movie with the thought that it's going to be very, very special.
