What to Know

Critics Consensus

Yakuza Apocalypse lives up to the oddball promise of its title with a cinematic whirlwind that represents director Takashi Miike at his most delightfully unhinged.

David Jenkins Little White Lies Slow down, Takashi. Rated: 2/5 Jan 6, 2016 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian It is extremely mad, long and often tiresome. Yet it is acted with eerie and absolute conviction, and has an interestingly surreal quality; Miike has a claim to be one of cinema's genuine surrealists. Rated: 3/5 Dec 31, 2015 Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com A very good film, but only if you're willing to inevitably submit to its anarchic sensibility. Rated: 3/4 Oct 9, 2015 Full Review Katie Smith-Wong Flick Feast In short, Yakuza Apocalypse is too bizarre and too much of a mess to deem watchable. Simply disappointing. Rated: 2/5 Nov 18, 2019 Full Review Andrew Todd Birth.Movies.Death. Yakuza Apocalypse's third act goes into full-blown action territory, replete with hand-to-hand combat, bodily fluids, and surreal supernatural business Sep 1, 2019 Full Review Nick Evan-Cook One Room With A View Treading that very fine line between the sublime and the ridiculous, Yakuza Apocalypse draws deeply from both pools. It's utter madness. Rated: 3/5 Apr 18, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Alexander G Anyone who ranks this less than 5 stars is wrong and doesn't know peak fiction Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/30/24 Full Review nancy d I would actually call this a horror comedy movie. It was all over the place with a loosely put together plot that really didn't make sense. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Liam D A insane blast This action I highly recommend to anyone and especially fans of Miike but if you don't like weird movies this is not for you Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/15/21 Full Review ashley s This movie is a waste of time and talent. It can't even decide whether it will be horror, action, fantasy, or comedy. It's like a compilation of everything but a master of none. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A bizarre mix of manga, martial arts, vampires and folklore. When the main bad guy is a person in a frog mascot suit, you know you're in for some weird shit... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Extremely non-sense, but well-made nonetheless. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
