by

In the upcoming revenge thriller, titled “Demon City“, the concept that “revenge is a dish best served cold” takes on a darker twist with a splash of blood. The streaming platform has recently shared a sneak peek from this movie, set to premiere later in the month. With comparisons already being drawn to Keanu Reeves’ masterpiece of revenge, “John Wick“, this film promises an equally intense experience. Based on the manga “Oni Goroshi” by Masamichi Kawabe, “Demon City” follows a notorious assassin whose life changes drastically when his family is brutally murdered. In response, he embarks on a bloody rampage to avenge their deaths, showcasing why he’s feared in the underworld.

The clip, generously provided by Netflix (originally shared on Twitter by @DerekBrocks), is displayed below. It showcases our protagonist, skillfully demonstrating his combat abilities upon entering a warehouse, where he’s instantly confronted by numerous opponents. Engaging in hand-to-hand combat, the scene is impressively choreographed, with Tôma Ikuta’s character deftly evading gunfire, knives, and even trucks amidst an action sequence that bears a striking resemblance to martial arts icon Jackie Chan.

The city of demons is set to premiere on Netflix on February 27, 2025. For a sneak peek and additional details about this pulse-pounding thriller, take a look below. Given the exciting glimpses we’ve seen of Demon City thus far, it appears certain that this will be another action movie triumph for the streaming service.

‘Demon City’ Is All Set To Hit Netflix on February 27

The movie titled “Demon City” is helmed by Seiji Tanaka who also co-wrote it, a director whose initial feature, the 2018 crime drama “Melancholic,” earned him the Best Director accolade at the 2018 Tokyo International Film Festival. This film boasts an impressive cast of well-known Japanese actors such as Masahiro Higashide, Mio Tanaka, Ami Touma, Taro Suruga, Mai Kiryu, Naoto Takenaka, Takuma Otoo, Masanobu Takashima, and Matsuya Onoe.

As a dedicated movie enthusiast, I can’t help but draw parallels with a gripping narrative unfolding in my mind. Once upon a time, a hitman named Shuhei Sakata was on the verge of reforming his life for his loved ones. Yet, the enigmatic group known as Kimen-gumi struck, brutally murdering his wife and daughter, falsely framing him, and tarnishing his reputation. A harrowing encounter left him with a bullet wound to the head, pushing him into a coma. Fast forward twelve years, Kimen-gumi resurfaced, but little did they know that their actions ignited a dormant killer instinct within Shuhei. This awakening set him on an unforgettable journey of vengeance. However, what lay ahead was a revelation so profound, it threatened to reshape his fate entirely.

Speaking of Keanu Reeves’ beloved canine-loving hitman, John Wick, the action series has become one of the most triumphant franchises ever made. Although the primary narrative concluded with the highly praised sequel, John Wick: Chapter 4, there are plans for more adventures set in the realm of Baba Yaga. An anime series, a TV show, and various spin-offs are currently being developed, including a film featuring action movie icon and martial arts master Donnie Yen as the blind assassin Caine. The initial spin-off, titled From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, is slated for release in June, with Ana de Armas spearheading the story as a novice assassin pursuing her own path to vengeance.
