Viewing Notes

I was pretty sure I’ve only ever watched the first film and neither of the two sequels but turns out I was wrong.

While neither is as good as the first, this one swings between the craziness of the first and the drama of some of Miike’s other films of the time, like LEY LINES; and so feels like more of a sequel in tone.
