An unusual movie that presents casual violence and impotence at every turn, slowly but surely generating resentment and the conditions for an explosive passage to the act. The offbeat humour, leisurely pace, unconventional camerawork and occasionally "avant-garde" editing, along with the surprising turns of the story, all give this film a unique quality, but the sheer repetitiveness of the violence wears slightly thin and the ending is maybe a little too cute.

Boiling Point estreava há 30 anos no Japão. Desse ponto aqui dá pra ver exatamente o momento em que o Beat Takeshi ganhou o cinema dos anos 90. Box Versátil A Arte de Takeshi Kitano.

Takeshi Kitano (with Katsumi Yanagishima) is one of the few directors whose work is so consistently nice to look at that he can film himself abusing other people for an entire hour and it's the best part of the film.

On the one hand, it is simply a warm up for Sonatine, but it has its own identity and was the first 'proper' Kitano film where he laid down the gauntlet. The mix of offbeat humour and violence is both startling and subtle, and the use of stillness is serene and tense. It's less refined than some of his more acclaimed works, but the slightly scrappy quality adds to its charm, and Kitano stages one of the most precisely executed action scenes of the 90's in a cramped office.

Fun experiment but not a fully engaged movie. Kitano lingers on strange scenes & an entire cast of stoic characters(most interesting part of the film being lack of displayed emotion)interesting shot choices & angles, a good film to look at.You never feel how slow it is. Kitanos character erupts into the movie disregarding the main plot. He plays crazy that is part cinematic exaggeration yet part real, dangerous crazy. Overall tho its like a prototype, kitano trying out ideas not yet fully formed

The extremely deadpan humour is enjoyable for the first act, but when Takeshi's surprisingly annoying and unamusingly unpleasent character shows up and totally dominates the middle section it kind of goes off the rails a bit. I kept wondering what this guy had to do with the rest of the movie.

Tackles the same themes as Sonatine, but with much less elegance and coherence.

Editing is really effective in some places, and really poor and jarring in others. He again explores violent and nihilistic tendencies, but this time through a much different perspective. Pretty cliched twist that many would say is a cop-out, but actually informs a lot more of the film than at first glance (though it would be a cop-out in a normal drama, but investment in the characters is pretty thin here, very much on purpose). Some sketch comedy too.
