Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Sleek, punchy and altogether captivating.

fresh:
Gross and trite as the material is, Kitano shows again that he is an ingenious, purposeful filmmaker.

fresh:
It shows how violent gangster movies need not be filled with stupid dialogue, nonstop action and gratuitous gore.

fresh:
Kitano's haunting elegy to the gangster way of life.

New York Times,

rotten:
Eliminates the one virtue American action films can legitimately claim -- vitality -- and replaces it with fake- existential claptrap wrapped in an inept narrative.
