Hiroshi Kobayashi is on the run, both away from the police who want him for the murder of his girlfriend Naomi, and towards the yakuza Kimura, from whom he wants to exact revenge for getting her hooked on drugs. The whole film is one long chase scene, shot in wild, semi-abstract patterns so that you're never quite sure what you're seeing. (Michael Brooke)

Stylish and chaotic and above all interesting and captivating. I'm not sure why but I've always enjoyed this type of film with its mixture of movement and chaos. I know this is an earlier film but it reminded me a lot of Sabu's early films.

Easily demands comparisons to Tetsuo, although the actual narrative is essentially vérité realism. Great work pulling such a complete work from what could have cost nothing. Due thanks go to the rivetting and thoroughly dynamic camera, alongside a very prominent soundtrack. So prominent that it feels like an audio-visual collage, more than film.

Kinda interesting short film with a few good shots. Watched on youtube which blew out the color on the color sequences, so not exactly fair to the movie itself.
