A former dishwasher (Gorô Kishitani) becomes obsessed with the mayhem he inflicts as a henchman for a powerful yakuza chieftain.

Anton Bitel

Little White Lies

Serially raping his 'wife' and shooting, stabbing and clubbing his comrades at arms, he is on a nihilistic, narcissistic dash upwards that is simultaneously a race downwards, and he brings near everyone whom he encounters crashing with him.

Psychocinematography

A fabulous confrontation with the inherent dimension of the self-destructive pleasure, evoking the effects capitalism have on society as a whole along the way.

I'm a fan of the gangster genre, but even I have to admit there's not a lot going on here. Sure, there's plenty of violence and blood, but I found the story rather weak.

One of Takashi Miike's more mature and serious offerings that only serves to prove he is a formidable force when he is in the directors chair!

I'm never too interested in remakes or movies based on true events. This movie happens to be both, but it also happens to be awesome.

Takashi Miike is such a prolific filmmaker that he has probably directed more films than most people have seen. So props to him that most of his films still maintain entertainment value even though he cranks them out like a goddamn movie factory. While this is nowhere near the Yakuza masterpiece that 'Ichi The Killer' was, it's still an involving portrait of a sadistic criminal.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It's not really a movie, its a series of rape sequences followed by some violent outbursts by angry Japanese men. I don't think I've ever seen a more ruthless protagonist than Rikuo Ishimatsu, not really in a cool way, but in a ultra entertaining way. This man's only goal in life is to beat people up and rape women and maybe eat some rice 'n' noodles in between. I could enjoy it on some depraved level, but its not the violent extravaganza it was built up to be.

As Miike showed with 13 Assassins, this guy really knows how to do a remake. A more brutal look at a sociopathic yakuza destroying his own life and others, this film ranks up there with Miike's best.
