Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A live-action Kenshiro takes the martial-arts apocalypse into a world of exploding heads and violently rearranged bodies. The adaptation is an awkward fit for its source, but its outrageous combat techniques and solemn presentation supply plenty for a curious action crowd to discuss.
