Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Yakuza backstabbing and movie theater massacres. And in the middle of it all is the great Tatsuya Nakadai. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Known under the english title THE WOLVES, this intense and gripping yakuza tale of honor and betrayal during the 1920's is a lost gem of the genre! One man's loyalty to the yakuza code is crushed in an industrial changing Japan where only money and power are respected and tradition is loosely used to empower the greed of the hypocritical. With a slow pace and a story that feels you've entered a maze of deception and corruption this movie is not for a novice of the genre. It's brutality explodes from the screen like a rush of adrenaline dissipating the set pace in an instant and allowing the viewer to experience the violent world of the yakuza. Our hero is tough and yet naive holding on to tradition with fervor only to find out that he is the only one honoring the code!! Possibly one of the best yakuza movies ever made!
