Violent with some entirely random (and quite unnecessary) sex scenes, Golgo 13 is James Bond through a Japanese prism. Indeed, you'll see 'James Bond' crop up repeatedly in any review of a Golgo 13 film, book or manga. Cool and efficient, he always gets the job done, never cracking a smile: in fact, he pretty much displays no emotion at all. The manga kicked off in 1969, and there's still a sense of that period in this film. Dark, stylish anime that deserves to be seen.
Not your typical ANIME due to it's focus on character development and storyline. It plays more like a live action movie rather than an animated japanese feature. It definitely is action packed, full of suspense and intrigue like an espionage thriller. Highly recommended!!
