Two years after the success of the Japanese Jidai Geki swordplay action film; "AZUMI" (2003), comes its sequel, Azumi 2: Death or Love.
The sequel once again features the beautiful Aya Ueto as the young female assassin, but how does this sequel fare without Ryuhei Kitamura at the helm as director?
One thing that Azumi had proved about Kitamura, the man can handle a samurai film; the director can indeed make his actors look fantastic, he can frame shots that most directors can only dream of or aspire to, and he knew when to cut the unnecessary scenes in the editing room.
Azumi 2 (2005) features Kaneko Shusuke as the director and Mataichi Yamamoto as the storyteller.
Yamamoto is also the screenwriter of the anime classic "Ninja Scroll". Were they able to fill Ryuhei Kitamura's shoes? I loved the original "Azumi" as you can judge with my review of it.
The film takes place sometime after the original film with Azumi (Aya Ueto) and Nagara (Kazuki Ishigaki) being pursued by the ninjas of Kanbei (Kazuki Kitamura), who was shamed by the beautiful assassin in the first film. Joined by a beautiful female ninja (Chiaki Kuriyama, Kill Bill), the duo is adamant in completing their mission in pursuing Masayuki Sanada (Mikijiro Hira); the last remaining lord of the Toyotomi bent on rebelling against the Tokugawa.
The remaining lord is protected by elite killers that they have to cut through to finish their mission. Along the way, they cross paths with a small band of bandits with Ginkaku (Shun Oguri) as its leader.
Ginkaku resembles Azumi's childhood friend; Nachi, who she killed as her "rite of passage" (in the first film). Just who is Ginkaku, and what is his relationship with the late lamented Nachi?
