K-20: The Fiend With 20 Faces

Fantastic Fest is here.
This is a bad ass genre film festival in Austin
at the Alamo Drafthouse that shows
a shit load of movies from around the world.
For more on that here's the site:

Since I only have a day badge,
I can only see movies that start before 6pm.

Today, I had the pleasure of watching one.

K-20: The Fiend With 20 Faces
This Japanese action comic-based flick was entertaining.
The first act was okay, it was a little slow.
But, that second act was freaking awesome.
Especially when our hero is training to be that
hero he must become.
The feeling of the movie is mixing V for Vendetta
with a little bit of Spiderman.
I think they overdid the ending a little.
Overall, I enjoyed it.
