"Valhalla Rising II: Tokyo Drift. Ryan Gosling’s inarticulate soulful driver, now in hock to the yakuza, versus Mads Mikkelsen’s one-eyed assassin, in the grand tradition of 1980s katana-wielding white ninjas. Gunplay in the labyrinthine depths of a Shinjuku-itchome hostess bar, and at least one Michael Mann shot in which blokes jump from a helicopter straight into a waiting police car to no discernable narrative effect."
