Viewing Notes
Took a borrow from the library to finally get me to watch this… cuz I’ve owned the DVD for 3 years. Doh! Slick Miike flick loosely based on the SEGA video game Yakuza but a tad overly confusing and convoluted. Feels hollow. The side story w/the amateur robbers in addition the bungled bank robbery serve more as filler rather than garnish. Nice to see Korean actor Yoo Gong in a primary role. Watchable but nothing significant.
