    Probably my least favourite Kitano film but entertaining none the less!

    The movie as a whole moves along at a steady pace, although not action packed you never feel that labored feeling that some may get if they are
    expecting one. The conclusion is well implemented, and although I'm mostly disenchanted with twist endings, Takeshi Kitano's Boiling ...( read more)
    Point uses one in such a way, that depending on how you interpret it, could either be taken as a twist or a type of storytelling technique which I would describe if it wouldn't ruin it.

    Like Sonatine, this movie is very very slow, but worth the wait. It's hard to call this movie a Yakuza film exactly, but it is right in the middle of that world. The film had a main character which was perfectly designed and whom made the final scene so much better.

Overall the story was very well done and a great film by Kitano and one which marked his career as a writer/director which led to many more great films. A very defining film for the style of Beat Takeshi and one that is not to be missed for any fan.

    Yakuza movies are about as fun as watching two preying mantis' hump and bite each other's heads off. Wait. that's pretty cool. Not like this movie, anyway
