Feat. Takeshi Kitano

Aroview: Popular entertainer 'Beat' Takeshi's directing debut is a stylish, witty yet cynical and disturbing elegy to violence executed with alarming precision. A brave and brilliant film with the deceptively endearing Takeshi himself in the title role.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
3 stars (Good Enough) Beat Takeshi takes on role as both director and lead in this violent and sadistic police/gangster story. A little dated visually, this is not Takeshi's best work, but it certainly is bold. ~Tom H
