The New Teaser Poster For RE:BORN Is Armed And Ready!
It’s 2016, and that means it’s only a matter of time before we’re fully immersed into the world of hurt ready to be displayed in director Shimomura Yuji’s newest, Re:Born. A teaser was unveiled last month finally cluing us in on what’s-what in footage, and it is nothing short of exciting in many ways. The film is set to be action star Sakaguchi Tak’s last following more than fifteen years of putting out some of the best independent Japanese cult action slashers to date, including Versus and Death Trance.

Do you think this film can be as good as The Raid (I mean, the first one; the second one is unbeatable)?? It looks quite amazing.

I think as fanboys we have to learn to appreciate filmmakers for their efforts. The Raid is a great film but it is not the end-all-be-all of cinematic fight action, and Shimomura has done plenty of good work in the years preceding that didn't involve needing a karambit or silat. Evans deserves all the credit in the world but what we can hope for here is a film that just delivers quality action with a story and characters we can care about.
