First Love

"First Love" a brilliant & dark humoured love story from Takashi Miike & if you're familiar with his work, it's made in the manner you would expect, with blood, gore & severed heads, as two young down on their luck people accidentally come together & get tangled up with courrpt cops, stolen drugs & gang warfare.

Absolutely insane, weird, dark, gory and fast-paced. Loved it.

Lovely Japanese Actress

Boxer is the complicated role of the night life, he dedicated his life into the competition and have a brilliant girlfriend with him.

It's a great movie with my favourite actress.

Japanese movie is always extreme fight scene....and realistic

I got a real kick out of this one.

Miike in the style of a Tarantino crime film and it goes hard!

Lovely, nice people. Poorly told story. Direction and editing was amateur.

This is a really gritty, bloody Japanese thriller comedy film. There are some amusing situations and moments but its more a thriller than a comedy overall and suffice to say, the comedy is indeed very black in nature (don't let the film name persuade you its a lovely dovey film - I don't think it's a spoiler to say that isn't entirely the case). The choreography of the fight scenes is quite good and the performances are decent. The storyline is a bit ludicrous but otherwise its really quite a gripping and tense watch. It is very darkly lit though, I suppose, which could perhaps cause frustration for people who may have issues seeing darkly shot films - that aside, I'd recommend this film, yes.
