Cheap Tuesday - The Wolverine

Taking advantage of cheap Tuesday at the Empire on the BasVegas Strip, I went to see The Wolverine in 3D. Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) journeys to Japan to see a man whose life he once saved and who wants to repay him.


Jackman gets to emote a bit, but it's basically lots of fights in Japan and you can't get more Japan than having a fight with a bunch of Yakuza on a Shinkansen going 300 kph through Tokyo. He's ably supported by the Japanese cast, especially Rila Fukushima as Logan's precognitive, sword-wielding, self-appointed yojimbo.

It's best not to think too much about the plot or characterisation, but just to let the style of the film wash over you, especially those who like Manga, Anime, or just Japan for that matter. A reasonable pizza film.
