I wasn't really feeling it. The characters were a bit shallow. A lot more could've been done with the theme wolf-brigade and the red riding hood connection. I would've liked a little more mystery.
Perhaps the plot tries too hard in the middle to give more heart and complexity to its sci-fi premise, but it's psychologically and philosophically intriguing enough to keep it afloat between the action-filled beginning and end. Plus, amazing visuals, which is why most of us watc... read more
One of the best spy movies ever made part greek Tragedy and part morality story about the cost of the moral flexibility required for counter intelligence. It's not nessicarily a happy movie but it is an amazing movie.
Animated or not, this is the most involved interpretation of little red riding hood that will EVER be made.
The more kick-ass story of Little Red Riding Hood based off of the original Danish story of war, slavery, and tragic virtue.
[Jin-Roh can be found at Hollywood video if there's one near you.] I saw this one a long time ago, it's memorable enough not to forget though. I don't exactly remember what happens [I curse my damn memory for that] but I do remember the hype afterward. Most animes do that, where ... read more
It came Very highly recommended, but the movie fails to live up to the hype. While it is quite clever, and the art direction is positively amazing, the movie's plot is full of holes. Still, it flies in the face of hollywood stereotypes, and i can't complain about that.
well animated, love the wolf themes in the ties that bind, but a disappointing core-story is at heart.
A very underrated anime movie that brings visceral action scenes with tender moments of affection together in a splendid display of feeling.
A grim, brooding film of exceptional power. Full Review
Jin-Roh's hand-rolled look and ripped-from-the-sci-fi-headlines plot are an asset and a relief. Full Review
Confirms my preference for live-action cinematography, without any tricks or conceits to place quotation marks around an already fantastic illusion of reality. Full Review
While it uses the advantages of line-drawn animation to fashion a setting that would cost hundreds of millions to produce as live action, the dramatic scale is minimal and tepid. Full Review
Outperforms most contemporary live-action films at every level.
Oshii's layered use of the Red Riding Hood story is both clever and chilling. Full Review
Unsettling and beautiful. Full Review
