A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
RIZIN 25
RIZIN returns to Osaka, Japan, for RIZIN.25, which is headlined by a title bout featuring Mikuru Asakura and Yutaka Saito for the RIZIN featherweight championship. Asakura is riding an eight-fight winning streak and has compiled a 7-0 record within the Rizin organization. Now, he prepares for the biggest fight of his career in an effort to capture the Rizin gold. His opponent, Saito, is a seasoned MMA veteran who has compiled an 18-4-2 record and is coming off a devastating knockout victory via soccer kicks over Kazumasa Majima. He plans to play spoiler and hand Asakura his first defeat in the promotion while capturing the league’s featherweight championship in the process.

I walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.

A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
