Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
An empty, incoherent exercise in frenetic style, interesting primarily for its cosmopolitan flavor.

fresh:
[Miike's] work is fun to look at but emotionally unengaging, perhaps because he can't summon enough belief in his pulp-fiction characters to make them come alive.
