directed by Takashi Miike
Japan 2007
A lone man in the middle of
the street, on his left, a gang, on his right another gang.
Caught in the middle, he has no allegiances. This is a
typical of a western movie, but this is where the regular
finishes, and the unusual takes over. |

Though most people will
disagree with me, this is one of the best movies Takashi Miike has made.
It's wacky, but heartfelt and esoteric while still being accessible.
As for the package, it's very well
done. The picture is terrific and has a tremendous film-like quality to
it. Grain is very slight, though wanted. The colors are bright, rich an
accurate, lending a nice feel to the movie. It does suffer, however,
from edge enhancement, which should be noticeable on bigger displays.
This is probably accentuated by the strong backlighting throughout the
movie. Barring that, this is one of the better transfers I've seen in a
while. |
