As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

City Hunter: The $1.000.000 plot is, as all City Hunter anime, very funny.Our perverted hero is charged with the task of protecting a pretty woman for the sum of $1.000.000, and as always, things don't really go as planned.Add some plot turns and twists, some pretty girls swinging 100t hammers, a lot of explosions, and you've got yet another City Hunter movie.Not very original, but still well worth your time. Rating 7/10.
