An action-packed R-rated comic book movie not a single soul remembers takes down a streaming syndicate

You can barely turn around these days without bumping into a comic book adaptation of some description, which by extension causes many to fall through the cracks from the second they’re released. Even though it only arrived in August of 2021, who honestly knows or remembers anything about Yakuza Princess?

Based on Danilo Beyruth’s Samurai Shino, there collection of talent on either side of the screen was eclectic and unexpected enough to drive perhaps a little interest, but the end result came and went without anybody really noticing at all. While the source material is obviously inspired by Japanese culture, many of the core creative team hail from Brazil, while singer Masumi made her feature-length acting debut in the lead role of Akemi, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers is also there for unexplained reasons.
