"Snake Eyes" takes you to an Asia between modernity and tradition: Martial arts fans get their money's worth as well as Japan friends.
Berlin – The student has to pass three exams. And although he's a recognized combat master and goes by the terrifying name of Snake Eyes, he works up a sweat.
Henry Golding ("Monsoon") embodies the protagonist of this two-hour ride, which can be traced back to toy figures, and wants to join a Japanese ninja family. But you have to deal with anaconda snakes and other things first.
The German Robert Schwentke ("Eierdiebe") directed, many of the scenes are said to have been captured on location in Japan. A lovingly designed film not only for friends of the toy figure GI Joe, but also for fans of Asia.
