– The Fable The Killer Who Doesn’t Kill review does not contain spoilers –
The Fable The Killer Who Doesn’t Kill starts out gnarly and blood-soaked. For fans of action and adventure, as well the first instalment of the franchise, this is going to be a great start. As very bad people start getting killed, you know you’re in for a start. Anyway, after saving Hinako from her pimp, we jump to the present, where Akira, or The Fable’s execution’s only survivor Utsubo is living a double life. Hinako is there with him as well. So, where does Akira’s newfound discovery of Hinako take him?
The Fable The Killer Who Doesn’t Kill is an interesting move, one that is extremely fun to watch. At 133 minutes, it’s a bit long but it’s absolutely a treat to watch. It’s not just the action sequences that are really nice, it’s also the look into the lives of the people that the movie is based on. The Fable 2 is also not just about Akira, although the name might say otherwise, it’s also predominantly about Utsubo.
His character is the one that we get to think the most about. His two faces are as different as can be and you can’t help but wonder where Utsubo’s true feelings lie. Is he truly a horrible person, does he care about Hinako or does he just use the children and the less fortunate as a way to put up a front for his illegal activities?
It is certain that Utsubo is, at least, a creep just like his business associate Isaki. However, we are concerned with this for most of the movie. The film does a good job of making us wonder about those things. Who is he really – is a question that we constantly ask until we get the answers at the end.
On the other hand, The Fable The Killer Who Doesn’t Kill also takes a look at Akira’s life, now that he has retired from his life of assassinations. His normal job and relationship with Misaki are humorous, just like his odd laughter. He reminds me of Tatsu from The Way of the Househusband, which is always a great thing to think about!

We also get to know about Hinako a bit in-depth. She’s not some forgotten chapter who is being used to get sympathy and make Akira look great. Her backstory and sufferings are very much a major part of the film and every time she comes on-screen. However, she’s not the only secondary character that we delve deep into and the others are really not better than the worst of the lot.
The movie doesn’t go overboard with the storyline nor with the characters which is a blessing because sequels have a tendency to do that. It’s a movie that will get under your skin because it’s so simple and honestly, very empathetic. The Fable The Killer Who Doesn’t Kill is honestly an engaging movie that will keep you engrossed. I was hooked throughout and at no point did I feel bored. However, some scenes are deeply disturbing and be warned that it’s going to stay with you for a long time.
Jun’ichi Okada, Shin’ichi Tsutsumi, Yurina Hirate and Mizuki Yamamoto are awesome in their roles. All of them are very believable in their roles and some are so good that you’d want to murder them.

after seen both fable and the fable i must say i’m sorry but: jackie chan MOVE OVER, the new martial action hero is here, i like that the guy knows nothing how being a human and learns stuff in the movies, (or atleast trying ????), (he dosent know santa) SAY WHAT NOW!?!! ???????? if he only learn to be not so angry looking later in movies and opens up a bit more like jackie chan, kicking ass while smiling,
,but i still love you jackie chan just make something that people (me) really wants and missing in movies nowdays, something like this fast fighting action, fable is good action, is not to long between something happens, people talk in these are not too boring and loooooong like netflix does, I DEMAND MORE, with some more fun humor and stunt actions in some scenes, some very cool scenes, some hot girls too like these two movies have ????????????, make 10 more movies please, only a 4 stars!?! muhhahaha 5 stars COME ON DOWN *dingdingdingdingding* best things i have ever watched in a very loooooooong time on netflix????????????⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
I wish I had your enthusiasm! Thank you for sharing your views 🙂
I like everything the movie is the best netflix ever made in a long time, atleast until the end,
Just two things, the buliding scene where the good guy fighting a guy who’s 10 times better than him, that was embarrassing scene,
Why they dont send him earlier in the movie and its been over, and where he drpos the granade, and next the bad guy just falling and dissappears in thin air,
And the worst part the end scenes, where the boss/bad guy is talking for 20 minutes straight, just bullying the girl in wheelchair and talking shit,
Just fast forward a bit here, and then that fucker just sit there smiling while magical throwing another granade, its too much granade use in this movie,
He did that on purpose and he like won the movie, the bad guy won happy ending, i diden care for the rest, thus some bullshit,
I like to shove a real granade up his ass and watch if he feel happy about that,
If their ever making a number 3, dont do stuff like this…..
Yeah okies, but next movie LESS FUCKING TALKING IN THE END OF THE MOVIE, AND STUPID STUFF, could done thing a bit different in some places.
