Anyone who thinks only Hollywood makes good superhero movies have got to see K-20. Directed by female helmer Shimako Sato, this Japanese flick dazzles with its inventive storyline, slick camerawork, superb action choreography and solid special effects.
Takeshi Kaneshiro, who may be the most beautiful man in the world, plays a nimble circus acrobat who is hired by a gossip magazine to climb up a glass rooftop and secretly take photographs of the celebrity wedding between a famous detective and an heiress.
Little does he know that the assignment is a setup. He is discovered on the roof, arrested and accused of being the notorious K-20, a prankster villain who is an enemy of the detective. Using his acrobatic skills, Takeshi must now escape prison, find the real K-20 and clear his own name
With a manga-fantasy storyline that's typically replete with twists and surprises, K-20 will keep you engaged right through to its excellent conclusion - even though the movie is 2hrs and 15min long. Director Shimako Sato wisely peppers the film with humor and gets some wonderful moments of pure slapstick now and then.
Guaranteed to entertain, even if your butt is sore by the time the credits roll.
