*Hakaider* is a film directed by Keita Amemiya and written by Toshiki Inoue. The story follows Hakaider, an antihero who becomes a sort of harbinger of death, hunting down the tyrants who rule over society.
The film is considerably more violent than what you'd typically expect from a tokusatsu production. Considering the genre and the era, the art direction is impressive, especially given that this was one of Keita Amemiya's early directorial works.
However, the film's short runtime leaves several details unexplored that could have benefited from further development. The pacing is also considerably slower, and the film doesn't always make as much use of its soundtrack as it does of its visual effects.
The art direction is phenomenal, making the film feel like a Shakespearean stage play: a tale of death, life, vengeance, power, submission, and revolution. These are themes that feel particularly relevant in today's chaotic political climate.
