coomassieblue I'm really not sure what was going on in the movie. Maybe there was something lost in the translation of the film????? First of all... were they vampires or zombies? Why the hell does the main character keep knocking out the girl every time he wants to fight a bad guy? Why did the zombies start coming out on the occasion? Why would you bury someone with a gun after you've killed them????? I was confused and bored. I turned it off with 30 min left. If i could sue the production company for the time i had wasted watching it, i'd be knocking on every ambulance chasers door!!! Finally... how the hell does this movie get on some of the 'top 25 zombie' movies list???

lewiskendell Versus aims to be a stylish, cool action flick with a healthy mixture of gore, gun-play, and martial arts. Unfortunately, a lot of those attempts at being stylish and cool, end up coming off as cheesy. All the silly posing and failed attempts at humor don't do a lot to help Versus, and neither does the fact that the characters are almost universally annoying and uninteresting. The story is something about zombies and resurrection forests and portals to hell. The word "convoluted" comes to mind. The frequent action scenes could have been the movie's saving grace, but they were uniformly uninspired and routine. The gore wasn't funny or copious enough to warrant any attention. The acting is bad. Not "campy bad" or "hilariously bad", just bad. The kind that's difficult to watch.If you couldn't tell, I thoroughly disliked Versus. I've seen a lot of great Japanese action flicks. This wasn't one of them.

David Santos Let me start by saying that this is the craziest action movie I have ever seen. I don't mean crazy in the sense it has crazy action scenes (it has), or crazy characters (it has..) or a crazy story (it does have...), I mean crazy on the freaking whole, the whole movie is crazy and has a crazy concept, and that is what made it interested and entertaining for me.So basically a group of convicts escapes into a forest to rendezvous with another group of gangstas, the thing goes wrong, there's a double cross, a gunfight... the usual. However, that forest happens to be one of the 666 portals to the other world. I know right? So what does this mean? That the guys who are gonna get killed... aren't really going to die! This gives a whole new meaning to the idea that people die if they are killed.And this brings us to the best shoot-out action and sword fights of zombies versus yakuzas you will ever seen! Well, then there's something about this guy trying to figure out what the hell is going on, rescuing a kidnapped girl, being the chosen one and fighting the forces of evil... at the same time. It's one hell of a complex plot in a plot less movie... What?? This movie is incredibly gory, funny and fast-paced. It IS action-oriented, but it's so much more! It's also a very crazy film if I haven't mentioned it yet and if it's going to do anything to you other than tell you in your face "it's all about the fun" is to entertain you for 2 hours or so.If you like some new and crazy ideas for a not-stop hilarious and action ride, watch this movie with the thought that it's going to be very, very special.

lastliberal Martial arts and Yakuza and zombies. What a combination. The fact that I watched it after Miyamoto Musashi kanketsuhen: kettô Ganryûjima made it even weirder.Prisoner KSC2-303 (Tak Sakaguchi) escapes from a maximum security prison and is met by the Yakuza, who have a girl (Chieko Misaka) as a hostage. They are waiting for someone else to arrive when everything starts happening. The prisoner and the girl escape to the forest.Now, this is not your ordinary forest, and this is not your ordinary prisoner, and this certainly isn't your ordinary girl.This forest is full of zombies. In fact anyone dying in this forest turns into a zombie. These zombies fight with swords and guns and whatever. You cannot kill them as they will rise again, so it makes for some very long fight scenes. There is an abundance of severed limbs, decapitations, and buckets of blood.The prisoner is ultra-cool and the way he keeps telling the girl to "shut-up" and punching her is funny, and a strange way to act for someone who eventually says, "Don't touch my girl, f*cking asshole." The f*cking asshole is, of course, the uber villain (Kenji Matsuda).Look for some very funny and bizarre characters in Ryuhei Kitamura's film, and lots of action.
