Although she's a newcomer, you couldn't tell from her chemistry with the leading man. Okamoto, who could very well be the first Japanese supermodel – having been the face of brands such as Ralph Lauren and Emporio Armani – is the leading lady opposite Jackman. I enjoyed the storyline and acting of both emerging actresses Fukushima and Okamoto. Once in Japan, Logan becomes embroiled in a plot that involves killing Yukio's sister, played by Tao Okamoto, who is new to the big screen but well known on the runway.ĮNGAGEMENT: As expected, the film is action-packed including stealth martial arts scenes. Jackman's primary screen compatriots in The Wolverine are relative unknowns Tao Okamoto as Mariko Yashida and Rila Fukushima as Yukio. Jackman captures his character so well it generates real pathos. He encounters Yukio ( Rila Fukushima), a sword-wielding young woman who convinces him to go to Tokyo to see an old acquaintance who is dying. Jackman's Wolverine is a troubled beast trying so hard to deny the monster within while doing everything he can to support those around him. This film resumes with Logan living in the woods, riddled with guilt for killing Jean, who haunts him in recurring nightmares. Not being a comic book reader, I eagerly awaited this film because I was excited to see the direction the film would take after Jean ( Famke Janssen) killed Xavier ( Patrick Stewart), Magneto ( Ian McKellen) was stripped of his powers, and Jean died at the hands (or should I say claws) of Wolverine a.k.a. PLOT: My favorite mutant returns in The Wolverine starring Hugh Jackman. ![]()
