Plot:
It's a sprawling awesome Yakuza epic full of everything the perfect gangster film needs. The movie is long, but builds into a mess of betrayals across all families all coming back to the small Higuchi gang. The movie isn't as violent as the other miike Yakuza films, but it didn't need to be. It's all about the undying loyalty of one solider to his boss and how he takes it on himself to dish out vengeance to anyone and everyone who deserves it. The main character is very likable and this is by far one of the strongest Miike Yakuza films as well as one of the best gangster movies in general out there.
The plot itself is overly convoluted, fairly cliche, and needlessly drawn out. The true value of this movie is found in it unique, and subtlety brilliant execution. Lots of telling character moments, strong acting and cleaver compositions. Miike has a talent for making over the top comic book elements seem mundane and naturalistic.
The most beautiful aspect of this movie that really got me going is the music they play when the guy kills someone, it glorifies death as it is supposed to be.
Confusing and overlong Yakuza thriller that will probably become clearer on a second or thirds viewing, but due to lack of stand out scenes doesn't really encourage repeated visits.
