Summary: The potential offspring of "Analyze That" and "Guinea Pig 2: Flowers of Flesh and Blood"
Comment: "Ichi The Killer" is a movie that involves gang member Kakihara and his target Ichi, who is, yes, a killer, but also enjoys weekend sitting under a blanket in his bedroom playing his PlayStation. Go figure!
Now, I will say that "Ichi The Killer" is one of the GORIEST movies that has come across my TV screen. I won't give away any of the details, but if you want them, personalize a request in the comment section below and I'll give you the what's-what, and believe me, there's a lotta WHAT in this movie! HOWEVER...
"Ichi The Killer" is NOT a "horror" movie. It's a very ironic movie with odd humor, unexpected laughs, and even some dark drama as only the Japanese can do. A personal favorite comedic moment is when Kakihara's squad is walking down the street, but Kakihara stuck a board of wood to one dude's shoe, so it sticks out like a sore thumb! Ironic, indeed!
So this movie is a cross between a gang-exploitation, drama, comedy and nonstop bloody, gory, violent action!
I love that the movie doesn't have to take itself seriously to be a great movie. "Ichi The Killer" as bloody and violent as it is, can be a very fun movie and an interesting twist on your Friday night featurette.
Basically, imagine the deranged, messed-up humor of the opening, train station scene in "Suicide Circle", set it to a gang members movie and there you go! Japanese gangsploitation done right! Enjoy, and don't be surprised if you find yourself laughing at least once! Thanks for the time, and peace.

Summary: A senseless movie
Comment: I don't understand the hype about this move with all these positive reviews. This is one senseless Japanese stuff which is not enjoyable in any way. The DVD transfer is poor or may be this is the best they could get. Not even worth a rental. I regret wasting my money on it.

Summary: Gorenography (with a story)
Comment: Rate this triple GGG--G for gore.
Of course, GGG is not a rating; just as XXX is not a rating.) With a XXX film you know what you are getting. You know what you will be fast-forwarding through and fast-forwarding to. Will that happen with this GGG film? Will you fast forward through this warring gang film with its blond, split-cheek, half-tongue pyschopath antagonist and its traumatized, weeping, killing-machine pyschopath protagonist just to get to the gore?
And what hardcore gore: what face-off, split-down-the-middle, big-a** fishhook-boiling-oil torture gore.
I grow (not prudish) but squeamish.

Comment: Wild. Wild. WILD!!!!
Takashi Miike influenced Tarantino and Rodriguez. See why.

Summary: It's so wrong - I love it
Comment: You get the point - violence, real gore & a lot of blood. It's a masterpiece about the total opposite of "normality"
