On the surface, Riki Fudoh (Shôsuke Tanihara) appears to be a normal high school student. However, Fudoh is anything but average -- he's the disturbed son of a Yakuza mobster (Toru Minegishi) and is prone to acts of spectacular violence, just like his father. However, there's no love lost between the two. Fudoh, backed by his equally vicious gang of teen assassins, wants revenge for a murder committed 10 years earlier by his father. The school becomes a battleground for the family.

Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Comparatively tame when compared to Takeshi Miike's later shock cinema classics. Rated: B- Jun 20, 2005 Full Review John Petrakis Chicago Tribune If you're a connoisseur of this type of gory head-banging, you should be impressed. Rated: 3.5/4 Dec 19, 2002 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 4/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 9, 2005 Full Review Ron Wells Film Threat Every so often a film comes along that just breaks your heart... and then there are films like this one that hit you in the head like an aluminum baseball bat. Rated: 4/5 Dec 27, 2002 Full Review Sean Axmaker Seattle Post-Intelligencer Restraint is not a concept in the cinematic vocabulary of Miike Takashi. Rated: B Sep 13, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

William D Someone is killed, maimed or punched about every two minutes. Writing it out like that makes the movie sound a bit silly, but this is a stylish and entertaining, albeit bloody, crime thriller. Many of the perpetrators and victims of the violence are kids and that was a bit discomforting. But discomfort is Miike's stock in trade. I'm becoming a big fan of his films. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Works as a badass, stylish Yakuza movie, and an absurd, hilarious, grotesque parody of same. It's a total blast, I had a great time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Takashi Miike tiene una especial sensibilidad a la hora de abordar sus películas, una muy marcada por la cultura pop de su país, aunque algo distorsionada por su propia creatividad. No es de extrañar que sea tan coleguita de Tarantino. Y es que Fudoh, destila su sello en cada plano de la película, y aunque es cierto que esa sensación "mangaka" es comprensible, no te sabría decir si esto es debido al propio material original o a la genialidad de su creador. Lo que si puedo decir es que sin duda es una cinta especial como ella sola: una trama de venganzas entre Yakuzas con ese hiperbolismo del anime y manga que solo los japoneses saben hacer. Divertida sin duda. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Kid as assassins, lady bodyguards, and an assassin using her genitalia as her weapon, these are some of the few weird characters Miike has to offer. And oh he never fails to bring a lot of bloodshed. It's a good flick really but the story is too lame. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Lo mejor, la chava que lanza dardos mortales con propulsión vaginal!... no me pregunten a mi... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Possibly the best of the "Yakuza" sub-genre, provided that you don't mind copious amounts of unrealistic gore and darts firing out of vagina. And I don't. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
