This movie comes right after season one and season two of the dramas with the same name and it continues the story where the season two left it. Honestly, it was better than the second drama. The action scenes were better, the music was better, and the story was more interesting. Sure, there were some action movie cliches, but overall, the choreography of the fights, the settings, even the costumes, as well as the performances, were all excellent. However, you do need to have watched the dramas to know what is going on.

Good job

Everything is perfect the music and story line,acting/cast is perfect,great actors 👍😁 Really enjoyed watching the movie and will rewatch again and again.

There are some funny scenes too which I feel makes the movie more entertaining and interesting to watch than just fighting with each other only, not a good storyline. It gives that energy and impact to us fans or viewers not only in the fight scene but also the music and atmosphere, at the right moment and gives us suspense what will happen at certain scenes.

Would Watch Again.

This movie comes right after season one and season two of the dramas with the same name and it continues the story where the season two left it. Honestly, it was better than the second drama. The action scenes were better, the music was better, and the story was more interesting. However, you do need to have watched the dramas or "Road to High&Low" to know what is going on. I still recommend it either way but I suggest if you are under 15, you should watch with an adult because at times it gets very violent, even showing blood in some cases.

And once again, the power of friendship saves the day. This series might be about gangs but, well, it's as much about gangs as Sailor Moon was. It's true! Cobra's even a blondie!

But seriously now. The cinematography of the gangs riding to war was a thing to behold, when they teamed up and rode together to kick the Mighty Warriors' and Kohaku's collective butt! Goodness gracious, that was a thing to behold.

Also, as much as I adored the drama because it allowed the story to go deeper and wider and whatnot, I think I prefer the movie take on the whole thing because it felt much more concise and there weren't as many repeated flashbacks.

My favorite is still Cobra, Yamata is as protective of Cobra as ever, Murayama is still smitten with Cobra and they all still follow Cobra's lead so... nothing changed - and I love it.

Retour intense et épique aux sources de la première saison…

Suite directe de la seconde saison, le film se rattrape avec des scènes d'action intenses et nombreuses, rappelant davantage l'intensité de la première saison.

Cette fois, SWORD s'unit pour défendre son territoire contre un ennemi commun. Les frères Amamiya entrent également en scène avec beaucoup de style. Pour moi, les gangs qui manquent de charme et d'une empreinte forte sont Mighty Warriors et Doubt. Ce sont des antagonistes intéressants, mais ils n'ont pas de fond. Peut-être que le spin-off centré sur Mighty Warriors pourra combler les faiblesses de ce gang (étant donné que je regarde par ordre de sortie et non par ordre chronologique).

Cependant, le film comble tous les manques de la saison précédente : davantage d'action, d'intensité, de force et de combats. Des combats spectaculaires, pleins de rage avec une touche propre à la franchise. Le combat final de SWORD est légendaire (tant sur la mise en scène que l'action qui jongle entre brutalité, émotion et humour). D'ailleurs, parfaitement distillé entre deux coups de poings, l'humour est redoutablement efficace, et dosé avec justesse. De même pour la musique qui retrouve son punch de la première saison.

Mon regret est sûrement l'absence de Smoky qui reste l'un de mes personnages favoris (le charisme de Kubota Masataka est indéniable). Cependant, les Rude Boys sont plus visibles. Leur style reconnaissable et leur façon d'utiliser leur environnement au combat reste captivant à regarder. De même pour chaque gang, ainsi que l'affrontement avec Kohaku qui se résume en une brutalité fraternelle époustouflante.

En bref, HiGH&LOW THE MOVIE revient aux sources avec SWORD, de l'intensité, de la fraternité et des combats titanesques et fascinants.
