These comments assume viewers will have seen the 2019 film 'The Fable' so won't need any introduction to characters we first saw in that film. I'd definitely recommend watching that first or this may be rather confusing. This sequel opens with a prologue set four years before the main action. In it Fable has been ordered to six criminals; he dispatches five before the job is cancelled. While dealing with the fifth an innocent girl is accidentally injured. In the present Fable and his partner are still living in Osaka and he still isn't allowed to kill anybody. Things seem to be going well enough for him but that can't last; the 'sixth man' has been looking for Fable and he wants revenge. I thought this film was really good; if anything it is a little better than the first. It starts well with an exciting opening. Things progress nicely with some nice scenes with Fable meeting the injured girl, who is now in a wheelchair, as he encourages her attempts to walk again. As before we get a fair amount of humour; I thought it worked better this time; perhaps I'd just got used to the more idiosyncratic elements. There is a good amount of well-choreographed action; this includes some fairly amazing stunt work. The cast does a fine job. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to anybody who enjoyed 'The Fable'. These comments are based on watching the Film in Japanese with English subtitles.

Like the first movie, this one also doesn't really work and it should be an anime. Some of the qurkiness does not really translate to real world, but the first movie is waaay more guilty of this. This movie is improvement compared to the first in almost every aspect; some things stayed the same, like mediocre acting, even tho the production quality of second movie is much better. Story will always be good, even tho it's less messy that the first one, it can still be better. And they finally made gun sounds decent (in first film, it was sooo bad, especially silencer sounds). What is really good in these movies is the action. The way Fable moves is awesome. My personal gripe from both films is portrayal of Akira Satou/aka Fable. I think objectively the actor is probably fine, but not in my eyes, also the way he struggles with better enemies, does not gimme the vibe he is the legend as portrayed. In manga there is not one human who can beat him in fight, let alone give him trouble, but I can understand that it's for movie purposes. 6.3/10.

The action,comedy,drama pack at its best in this movie series. I had my hopes down because japanese are not famed for their movies but it is really a refreshing add to the action genre. The characters are unique but i found it to be very easy for me to sympathise even with the side characters,that is not a very common thing to happen with ur mainstream action movie. The plot is pretty straightforward but its pretty expected from an action movie so i didnt find that to be a drawback. Scenario is smart and entertaining Music hits the points Acting is top And the action scenes were directed perfectly.

Perhaps this is based on how normal Japanese people behave or I just don't get Japanese humor. There is too much randomness and quirkiness in the first half of the movie. Fortunately the other reviews on IMDB made me stick to the second half. The story doesn't really improve although there is one great payoff and SUPERB action sequences. The stunt work is among the best in the world.

The first was good. The 2nd was amazing. Kampai!! One of the best Japanese action movies that has been in a while now, packed with great stunts ,actions and funny charming characters.
