      Audience Member I've seen a lot of Yakuza films but what makes outlaw gangsta VIP stand out is the characters. Tetsuya Watari expertly plays goro who is a Yakuza but with a good heart and morals which makes him extremely likeable. Another outstanding performances is yukiko played by the beautiful Chieko Matsubara who perfectly portrays her as vulnerable and naive. Overall the first film in this series is fantastic and stands out in a genre which is already stacked with sensational films Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member another good nikkatsu film but this one is not as good as A COLT IS MY PASSPORT Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
