While movies based on video games have traditionally been terrible, this film (loosely based on the 1986 Midway arcade game) benefits by combining the light hearted action style Johnson has become known for with the classic giant monster movie genre. As primatologist Davis Okoye, Johnson makes for a likeable hero. The supporting cast features some solid performances from Naomie Harris (MOONLIGHT), Joe Manganiello (TRUE BLOOD, JUSTICE LEAGUE) and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (WATCHMEN, THE WALKING DEAD), though Malin Akerman (BILLIONS) and Jake Lacy (I"M DYING UP HERE) fare less well as

(??????? ????????, Tantei Jimusho 23: Kutabare Akutoodomo, 1963) is a hard hitting, rapid-fire yakuza film that redefined the Japanese crime drama.

Rapidly paced, darkly funny, and extremely stylish, DETECTIVE BUREAU 2-3: GO TO HELL BASTARDS! is unlike anything seen before and rightly deserves its cult status.
