Critic Reviews

One of Miike's most violent and sadistic movies, filled with squirting blood, throat-slashing, limb-hacking and other forms of mutilation too gruesome to describe here.Full Review

V.A. Musetto
New York Post

Takashi Miike's frenetic comic yakuza thriller embodies the best and worst this notorious Japanese genre auteur has to offer: It's endlessly inventive, consistently intelligent and sickeningly savage.Full Review

Ken Fox
TV Guide

Takashi knows how to make a great, sleazy Yakuza film, but what I’m missing here is that sense of something brand new.Full Review

Eric Campos
Film Threat

The direction occasionally rises to the level of marginal competence, but for most of the film it is hard to tell who is chasing who or why.Full Review

Dave Kehr
The New York Times

The torture is strictly for kicks, which spoiled this for me, but less skittish viewers may enjoy this as a stylish and tightly wound genre piece.Full Review
