79/100 When I sit down to watch a Miike film, I know I'm either gonna like it or hate it. This one was a blast. The Yakuza, the Chinese mobs, thieves within the ranks, a corrupt cop, all go to war over a bag of drugs with an enslaved girl, who has weird hallucinations, making her escape with a boxer, right in the middle of it. Neither the viewer, nor anyone in the film, has the slightest idea of what's really going on and the bodies are dropping like flies. This was an absolute roller coaster ride of unbridled chaos that was supremely entertaining and a joy to watch. *big smile* -- DrNostromo.com
