| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Versus |
|---|
A man named Nobu is said to be the cause of a not necessarily deadly but VERY painful virus that has spread all over the world. Nobu, a Japanese bounty hunter, panics; the entire world, pretty much without exception, is now trying to kill him. As he wanders the world searching for hope, he is attacked in HUGE, and I mean HUGE battle sequences that consist of literaly HUNDREDS of people attempting to kill him.
--Max Landis, Resident Scholar
