Peter W Agitator is a slow-burning crime story filled with unpredictability and sudden bursts of violence. One choice sets off a ripple effect among many characters, pushing them over the edge as they pursue power and exact revenge. While the pacing is slow to begin with, the film’s second half is most exciting and gripping, and the dialogue is continually snappy and feels realistic. With so many characters on screen, I must confess that I sometimes struggled to process everything happening to begin with, and it feels like there is a far bigger story than this on-screen can contain. I enjoyed watching the chain of events unfold, primarily as the film showcases classic yakuza tropes through gritty tones and visuals. A pervasive sense of betrayal keeps the film engaging right up to the credits. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/17/25 Full Review Read all reviews
