Oh wow, I did not expect to have so much fun watching this movie. Gore, intense action sequences, an amazing amount of eye candy (every one was just plain gorgeous), and dark humor! How could you possibly go wrong?
Actually, you can, but just slightly else Versus would have received a higher rating. While I can appreciate the intentional campyness and forgive the lackluster cinematography, not a lot of people can. That, in a nutshell, is Versus' flaw; it is not for everyone.
This would, however, be a great "Guy's Night" flick. It's pure action all the way through with some semblance of a plot that doesn't really seem that important to begin with. A portal, and a girl...and...stuff...whatever? Who cares!? The Yakuza are a mix of Charlie's Angels and The Three Stooges, the protagonist is an ass-kicking, matrix wannabe with a flair for dramatic trench coat flinging, and there are zombies...with guns!
Seriously, don't expect for this to be the next Living Dead, or anything of that sort. Pop it in, find a friend, and be prepared to have a blast as you laugh at the wrong moment and root for your favorite person!
