August 14, 2020
The visuals are eye-catching and the action enjoyably nasty, but there's absolutely nothing of substance behind it all.

The whole thing feels as if it's trying too hard to be edgy without having anything meaningful to say.

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

MFKZ leaves so much to be desired and not enough of an impression to say anything about it. As bad as this movie is, it's so bland and ugly to look at that there's no reason to get mad at it.

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

The directors tend to prize gore and bedlam over tension and suspense, which grows wearisome.

"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.

Enjoyment will depend on a tolerance for that randomness teenagers apparently find hilarious.

The bulk of MFKZ is composed of chases and shoot-outs that, despite their chaotic energy, drive the plot forward at the most plodding pace.
