Takashi Miike is a talented Director who does sometimes push the line of acceptance. His work is unique and every film brings something new to the table.

Probably the most bizarre film I've ever watched, I had to read the dvd cover to make sense of it all after. With my new found faith in Takashi Miike, I'm gonna put this down to me misunderstanding this, definitely needs further viewings.

VERDICT: Confused!

Possibly my favourite to date of Takashi Miike's work. It appears to be quite a predictable film, but with this Director you know there is always going to be something a little bizarre, it also has it's fair share of gore.

The beginning was a little drawn out I felt, but I still didn't lose interest and one particular scene really made me jump (which I have to say is something rare for me).

If I could recommend you watching one Takashi Miike film, it will be this one.

Violence, gangs and gay prostitution. This story is interesting straight from the start, dipped a little in the middle, but I mostly enjoyed it. There is an interesting interview with Takashi Miike too.

VERDICT: Worth a watch

Ichi the Killer (Koroshiya 1) 4.0 Stars
Violent, graphic, sadisdic and masochistic. This was one of my first sub-titled films and I did the one thing you're not supposed to, I put English dubbing on because I was having a lazy day, learnt my lesson!

VERDICT: Great film, not for people who have weak stomaches!
