Watch Wicked City For Free

Brilliant and touching

Blistering performances.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Working for a special corporation, a special hunter finds that a group of demons are attempting to upset the balance between an agreement held with several supernatural entities and must fight alongside a fellow agent from the supernatural world to restore the balance between societies.Frankly, this one was a rather thrilling anime. One of the more engaging aspects of the film is the exceptionally enjoyable storyline that manages to bring together plenty of unique concepts to the forefront. The idea of a treaty engaged between different members of supernatural factions is quite a fun ride, and the film gets a lot of play out of the idea that the treaty coming to an end means that a series of big battles must be engaged to restore balance. That this leads into a non-stop series of big action scenes between the two sides is quite a lot of fun, giving this one a breathless pace which is due to the great encounters with the terrifying demons and creatures, from the spider-woman surprise following their sexual encounter or the battle with the creatures at the airport which is enhanced nicely by the terrifying creatures he has to fight off. That carries along nicely with the later frenzied encounters where the shapeshifting creatures in the mansion or the creature that attempts to tentacle-rape her out on the highway where it seemingly throws every kind of deformed and tentacle-shaped being in their arsenal. Due to the rampant attacks from the creatures in another dimension with far greater powers than ordinary mortals due to the strong storyline, there's plenty of fun thrills to be had with the anime format which allows for the supernatural demons and creatures to be placed in far more terrifying detail as they truly look otherworldly and terrifying that makes the action that much more fun. The action here is given a strong stylistic charge with the way the scenes come off here, making this one look all that much greater with the neon color-scheme running wild in the film so that the battle in the spa with the demon nurse or the encounter with the spider woman in the tunnel are rather excited yet the highly romantic sequences look great as well. Graced with tons of nudity and a truly hilarious side-character for some comic relief, this one ends up with a lot to really like about it over a minor flaw. The overall feel of the film is that it just seems to throw elements together that have a vein hope of making sense but in the end, it really just has too many strands going for it. Things just seem to happen here and it never explains why people have their powers, what the overall goals are for each side or what the plot-twist is supposed to mean as hardly anything here happens for a reason. Beyond this, the film is quite a lot of fun.Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Full Nudity, Graphic Language and strong sex scenes.

Wicked City is a solo anime movie of director Yoshiaki Kawajiri before he get to mainstream with Ninja Scroll and Vampire Hunter D:Bloodlust unlike his most famous stuff Wicked City is a very adult anime with raw,gritty and gory nature.It has some of the most impressive animation i ever see at the time and the use of the color red and blue in this brilliant.The plot of the anime is a mix of many genre like body horror,sci-fi and fantasy with a touch of adult themes and some time soft core porn.I can see it has been influence by a lot of American movie like:The Thing,Alien and The Blob if you can look pass all that i guaranteed you will have a bloody good time with this movie and find more gem from the early day of anime

This movie has a lot of fun things going for it and draws inspiration from different genres and subject matters, such as sci-fi, horror ,religion, sex,... , and blends them seamlessly.The story centers Taki, a black guard who has to defend Giuseppi Mayart in order to save the world from the demons. Makie, a woman from the demon world, is assigned to help him on the job.The story itself isn't that great (the movie is a bit short and doesn't flow that well. Also, the characters, though likable, aren't very fleshed out). However, the animation more than makes up for it. The action scenes are creative and exciting, and the all around creepy vibe in this movie only adds to it.If you're not sure whether to check this film out, I'd recommend it. It's by no means a masterpiece, but it's entertaining and the animation is a lot of fun to watch.

I wouldn't profess to be an anime "fan". I certainly watch it, and own a few British released videos, but I don't go to conventions or run down to Forbidden Planet every week looking for the latest import. The reason? Cultural differences mean a lot of high-end anime is perhaps confusing and a little boring for us westerners (see Akira and Ghost in the Shell). But not Wicked City. Just like Ninja Scroll, this dispenses with theological and spiritual issues in favour of gore, guns and shagging. Written and directed by the same guy, this is similar to Ninja Scroll, with the same superhuman themes and forbidden love interest. And I love it. Call me shallow, but I've been brought up on a diet of in-yer-face culture, and the Japanese prevalence to dwell on life and self-worth don't interest me in the slightest, at least not when I watch videos. Wicked City has the meanest gun IN THE WORLD, an amusing old man (a trademark of the director I fear) and people in smart black suits. O.K, the final battle is classically confusing, but not a day goes by when I don't yell "Fu**ing monsters!" at the top of my voice. An utterly enjoyable romp, and one that's always a pleasure to watch on the Sci-Fi Channel.
