Highlander : The Search For Vengeance (2007) 6/10

Starring : Alistair Abell, Eid Lakis, Zachary Samuels, Scott Mcneil
Director : Yoshiaki Kawajiri, Takuji Endo & Hiroshi Hamasaki
Running Time : 96 mins

Colin MacLeod (Abell) is in search of another immortal, the evil Marcus Octavius (Samuels), the Roman general who is responsible for the death of his lady love. As he travels through time in search of him, McLeod is accompanied by a ghost named Amergan (Mcneil), and together they journey through different time periods in search of their target and revenge.

Fans of the Highlander series of movies will most likely find this to be a faithful continuation of the series. There are some things done here that couldn’t have been achieved in the live-action movies without breaking the bank, and the sharp Japanese animation helps make this as gritty as possible. The comic relief wasn’t that great and made little sense to me, but there’s still something here for real fans.
