Anton Bitel

Little White Lies

It’s a bold, brassy, outrageous, often very funny story about humanity – and other animals – struggling to find their way in an unjust world of fakery and illusion, where the real punk is Ishii himself.

Robbie Collin

Daily Telegraph (UK)

The film is a barrage of slapstick, smart talk and brain-melting non-sequiturs, and much of it is very funny indeed...

Rated: 3/5

Douglas Davidson

Elements of Madness

... "Punk Samurai" provides those looking for a weird and wild time at the movies all that and more in an action comedy that’s little more than a series of middle fingers blasted at the establishment.

Rated: 3.5/5

Pieter-Jan Van Haecke

Psychocinematography

While this film does not break any new ground or does not best similar comical period drama’s, Ishii’s samurai comedy remains well worth a watch.

James Hadfield

Japan Times

Even in its most assured moments, including a couple of fight sequences reminiscent of wuxia martial-arts flicks, Punk Samurai Slash Down doesn't seem to be offering much that Takashi Miike hasn't already done better.

Rated: 2.5/5
