The action-adventure series Black Lagoon (2006) marks the ongoing confluence of Japanese and American filmmaking. Rokura Okajima, a minor flunky from the powerful Asahi Corp, thinks his life is over when he's kidnapped by pirates while acting as a courier of secret information. It's only his career at Asahi that ends: he joins pirates as "Rock." The trio of Dutch, the understated leader; happy-go-lucky techie Benny; and trigger-happy Revy becomes a quartet. They're less pirates than soldiers of fortune, ready to do anything if the price is right. Dutch, Benny, and Rock are fairly typical anime characters and form a credible team. But the over-the-top Revy throws the show out of whack. Captain Jack Sparrow would blanch at her casual murders and potty-mouthed insults: She's about as engaging as a rattlesnake in an Easter basket. Although it's based on a manga by Rei Hiroe, Black Lagoon feels like a cartoon version of a Hollywood blockbuster. Extremely violent and very profane, Black Lagoon is not for the squeamish or easily offended. (Unrated, suitable for ages 17 and older: violence, profanity, grotesque imagery, alcohol and tobacco use, Nazi imagery) --Charles Solomon
