    This is a little toned-down film from Miike that features Riki Takeuchi in the lead role as Kunisada, who leaves everything behind to avenge the death of his father. Not as violent as other, more popular Miike films, but still tough as nails.

    The big payoff is the soundtrack ...( read more)which features Flower Travelling Band's 1971 album Satori, which sounds like a cross between Black Sabbath and Black Flag and is very infectious. Miike found the album to be way ahead of its time and was delighted at how well and inconspicuously it cut into a movie made 30 years later. You might be, too.

    Rikki Takeuchi plus a bazooka plus a kickass soundtrack and cameo performance by Joe Yamanaka from FTB and Sonny Chiba. Rockanroll indeed.

    A typical, over the top, Yakuza action film from Takashi Miike.

    Great film with an awesome lead performance by Takeuchi. Thank goodness for Takeshi Miike (sung to the tune "Thank goodness for Chef Boyaredee)

    Flower Travellin' Band. That's the reason I love watching this movie because their album SATORI is featured throughout. The rest of the movie is a pretty good albeit generic yakuza flick, Riki Takeuchi is a goofball and Miike basically gutted AGITATOR to make this sparse action f...( read more)ilm. But you could put FTB over just about anything (Twilight + Satori = probably pretty good) and it'd be entertaining. You take them away and it's a forgettable flick by a great director.

    Ah Takashi Miike - bless his dark soul. Whenever one feels jaded by cinema and its ability to surprise, just watching one of his films is like being plunged into an ice cold bath and you wake up once more to the possibilities of film. This one is by turns grotesque, absurd, bruta...( read more)lly violent but ultimately, comical. Not to give the scene away but the penultimate one had me in stitches laughing - rock n'roll indeed.

    A supernatural yakuza revenge movie with a soundtrack by the mighty, MIGHTY Flower Travellin' Band, this is one of Miike's best gangster films and literally, a blast from start to finish. Even the crappy digital effects can't take from the child-like exuberance - if only Hollywood made action movies as edgy and playful as this.

    nice soundtracks... the old revenge yakuza kick backs... (almost) nice story... but... bad (and it's BAD) actions...
