Sakura Haruka is a lonely high school student whose only asset is fighting. He comes to the town to take the top spot at Fuurin High School, feared as a den of delinquents, but the students had transformed into protectors of the town, known as "Windbreaker". Although bewildered, Sakura joins as a member of Windbreaker and throws himself into the battle to protect the town with his comrades! Amidst this, a trigger crosses an unbreakable line, prompting the most dangerous group, "Shishitoren", who advocate absolute faith in power, to start targeting Windbreaker as their new aim.

Reviews
Got lost along the way…
So, as much as I do not wish to use comparison in my reviews, the short way of summing this film up is be saying Wind Breaker fell into the traps that Tokyo Revengers did not, as both are works in the same genre (and style). Having watched both films without the context of their anime or manga, Tokyo Revengers drew me into the world and characters with a sense of purpose, while Wind Breaker left me wondering what crucial information was missing from the film that lead to me never really investing in the characters or events of the film.The characters were lacklustre and not given sufficient depth or drive, with only two exceptions (neither of whom are the protagonist). While the film attempted to give characters enough background and depth with small snippets of the past, only one of these flashbacks truly felt meaningful. The end result was a film that felt somewhat meandering and slow, in spite of a strong enough start and being in the action genre.
There was also a major failing in the special fx area with one character’s feet not looking like feet (likely due to a combination of safety issues and lack of vfx budget) which was a distraction in one of the major fights.
Soundtrack was generally decent although unfortunately I’m pretty sure I heard a slur in one of the songs used early in the film which is also not great.
If you are a fan of the cast, then watch it. If you are a fan of the manga or anime, perhaps watch it. If you are neither of those, give it a miss or go watch Tokyo Revengers instead.
