The composition of City Hunter is highly dynamic and often sports fast-paced cutting. What stands out in the framing of the action-sequences are not the choreographies, but Sato’s emphasis on creating visually pleasing action-moments.

In order to adapt this manga for a modern audience, City Hunter tries to reduce the original's sexism and main character's sexualization and objectification of women, but there's still plenty of it.

Accessible and endlessly energetic, City Hunter should hit the target for fans and first-timers alike.

It's as silly as crying wolf when thinking you spotted a Brown Bear monster in the film.
