C+
A fun Japanese action film that adds exactly nothing to the “retired hitman seeks revenge” sub-genre and has a decent time doing it. Go to Full Review

With Demon City, Seiji Tanaka delivers a good action experience. He delivers many pleasing moments of action and violent brutality for the spectator to savour, yet struggles to craft an emotionally potent backbone. Go to Full Review

In the end, however, “Demon City” is just another Netflix Japanese actioner, in the path of “Baby Assassins” and “The Fable” (without the comedy though) and definitely on a lower level than the aforementioned. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
A boilerplate revenge tale told between bursts of ultraviolence, Tanaka’s latest film sacrifices strong characters and nuanced storytelling for something unremarkably brutal. Go to Full Review
Johnny Loftus Decider Mar 4, 2025

Unfortunately, this movie is a bit of a mess. Go to Full Review
