The beginning is a simple enough set-up, and we’re introduced to the world of the Arashikage fairly easily when Snake and Tommy arrive at the ninja clan’s picturesque Feudal-era castle compound outside Tokyo. Written by Evan Spilotopoulos (The Huntsman), Joe Shrapnel (REBECCA), and Anna Waterhouse (RACE) this film is absolutely bonkers.
And to make matters worse, the clan find themselves in the middle of a war between a global terrorist network known as COBRA and an international peace-keeping entity….G.I. Of course, Kenta is not done with Snake Eyes or his grudge against Clan Arashikage. Snake Eyes disobeys, and he and Tommy soon find themselves on the run and in Japan, where Tommy offers Snake a life in his clan. Kenta, a former member of the clan-turned-Yakuza boss, tells Snake Eyes to kill Tommy, revealed to be a spy. Working for the Yakuza, Snake Eyes becomes quick friends with Tommy Arashikage.until it is revealed Tommy is the namesake of an ancient ninja clan who have protected Japan and influenced world events for 500 years. After one exceptionally brutal match, he’s approached by a man named Kenta (Takehiro Hira) who offers him a life in the Yakuza in exchange for the man who killed his father. He’s a drifter, going from one underground fighting ring to the next, making end’s meat to stay alive. Orphaned as a child after his father is killed before his eyes in witness protection, Snake Eyes (Henry Golding) has no name and no future.
The end result is a 2-hour action feature that gets progressively more bizarre at it goes on, including gigantic CGI Anacondas before amping up to a climax scene that features all of the ensemble cast walking in slow-motion towards the camera before they do battle with an insane Yakuza wizard that blasts fireballs from an ancient gem. Joe film franchise which has been dormant since 2013’s respectable G.I JOE: RETALIATION. Joe ninja character, released this past weekend in the hopes of relaunching the G.I. SNAKE EYES, the high-octane and brazenly weird feature film about the titular G.I.
