    a fun caper flick featuring an odd couple on the run from a host of colorful characters. it's very stylish, with a light tone that becomes much darker, reminiscent of a tarantino film. tadanobu asano is dead cool as ever

    A man named Samehada (Ichi The Killer's Tadanobu Asano), on the run from the Yakuza for stealing one hundred million yen joins up with a woman, Toshiko, on the run from her job at her perverted uncle's hotel. The uncle hires an elven hitman with a unibrow, Yamada, to kill Samehad...( read more)a and ensure Toshiko's safe return.

    Even tho it seems the viewer is thrown into the fast-paced film with so many characters, they're all well developed and the film becomes very easy to follow.

    Sure, the story of a yakuza being chased for stealing money from the gang isn't anything original, but this film has something others don't. Style.

    Includes a favorite opening credits sequence.

    This has to be my favorite movie of all time. I would say its the Japanese equivalent of Snatch, but much better. Basically a gangster comedy.

    Le film le plus commercial de Ishii, mais on y retrouve toute la folie qui le caractérise. Une drole d'histoire avec des personnages completement déjantés.
