A sometimes fun and over-the-top comedy / martial-arts yakuza film. Ultimately it didn't work for me, although it may have just been a genre I'm not used to.

Well-made and stylish. The tone is relatively restrained for an Ishii film, and feels just right. The acting was often quite bad, though, especially from Tsumabuki and Mitsushima, and the film feels like it didn't live up to its full potential and lacked the impact it should've had.
