Viewing Notes
I still think this and Hara-Kiri are two of Miike’s best films of recent years. So much to like here, though it does have a few trademark over-the-top Miiki scenes (like the buckets of blood raining down from the sky after an off-screen explosion) that undercut the otherwise serious plot at times.
