   The third Lone Wolf and Cub film from the 70s, Baby Cart to Hades. Feels like a dip in the middle of the narrative, frankly. While there was a savage rape in the first film, this one repeats the motif entirely too many times, making the first act particularly unbearable. It also doesn't feel as coherent as previous efforts - no doubt because it's following the manga's structure - with two separate episodes squeezed into the film, one about freeing a woman from indentured servitude and another about a corrupt deputy official. Both have their moments of badassery and emotion, but it's still a weak structure that requires more exposition. It's definitely more talky. And the violence is neither as gory nor as clever as in the previous films. Bit disappointing, I'm hoping it picks up in the next chapter. 10 years 4 months ago
