Once you've seen one Takeshi Kitano movie you've seen them all really. Yakuza, pathos, general weirdness. Nicely shot as always. Wouldn't mind retiring to Okinawa.
After all I had heard was expecting more but the Hollywood remake of this Dutch film is probably responsible for that. However, the 80's synthesizer warbling was so out of place that the score merely served to destroy the tension in most scenes. At the end it's a toss-up between the original, terrifying ending or Jeff Bridges' speech impediment. Hmm...
Just about to get stuck in to
Bloodsport for the first time since childhood. Convinced myself it will be best thing ever. Speaking of Van Damme,
huh?
