      Audience Member Gonin? More like, gonnae someone tell me what the hell was going on in that film! That is all. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a good film, very hermetic and dark universe. It's almost always night in the movie. The end is great I like it, just give's a nice lose-lose lesson. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Not as much to my taste as Gonin 2, but still a mesmerising study in crazy personalities crashing into each other. Very little goes as expected. This film is getting on a bit now so it's funny to see Go Go Yubari as a tot. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member top notch directing and score. The acting is great, but I have a problem with the plot. It's ridiculous that they were foolish enough to only kill one of the Yakuza. What did they think was going to happen after stealing one million dollars? If you leave any Yakuza alive Takeshi Kitano is going to kill your wife, your kids and you! C'mon guys! Hopefully the women of Gonin 2 aren't so naive and/or forgetful. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Draggy and muddled in parts. Thankfully the cast is great and the abundance of child murder, man rape and squibs make for a swell time. I actually prefer the sequel though. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Beat Takeshi stars in this heist film gone wrong that stands above almost all others, ranking right up there with Rififi. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
