Cue ultraviolence, gang stereotypes, and a bucketload of plots that never really go anywhere... MFKZ is about as subtle as a house brick.

MFKZ is the kind of barely-there fantasy that disappears from your memory even while you're watching it.

"MFKZ" is obviously modeled on Katsuhiro Ôtomo's "Akira" and Taiyô Matsumoto's "Tekkonkinkreet," but it lacks the gritty brilliance of the former and the underdog poignancy of the latter.

The visuals are eye-catching and the action enjoyably nasty, but there's absolutely nothing of substance behind it all.
