Review of Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade

To be clear i am a big anime fan and really wanted to like this movie; the first 15 minutes really set the stage well but then it all crashes when the overly foggy political narratives start moving forward while relying with the two main characters. Which, unfortunately for the audience, are just victims of the script, with no motives, drive or an inch of charisma. Together their lines amount to maybe a couple of minutes but spend none of that time to build character or back-story. Resulting in the viewer really not caring about what ultimately happens to them. To add to the frustration there is this red-riding-hood analogy force fed to us several times during the movie meant to make us thing about who (of the two mains) is the wolf and who is the victim, but ultimately unnecessary. Overall it has some nice locations and style but it left me pretty much indifferent at the end.
