Hiroshi sakurazaka6/24/2023 ![]() ![]() Whereas EDGE OF TOMORROW will live long in my DVD collection, ALL YOU NEED IS KILL is almost certainly a onetime read. Because while ALL YOU NEED IS KILL is a fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled romp, it lacks the richness and dry wit of the film’s screenplay. I rarely side with the filmmakers on these matters – but in this case, EDGE OF TOMORROW benefits from its departure. The film utilizes the novels’ central premise, borrows character names, and discards the rest of Sakurazaka’s content. ![]() The Tom Cruise / Emily Blunt blockbuster is adapted from Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s novel ALL YOU NEED IS KILL, and makes vast changes to the source material. ![]() EDGE OF TOMORROW is a fantastic sci-fi action flick, the kind of summer blockbuster I love, detached from the countless super hero films bombarding cinemas. ![]()
