CULT CLASSIC, 19 March 2003
8/10
Author: mario-rad from vienna, austria

This unique mixture of Kurosawa, Besson´s "Leon", and Manga-influence is probably the best Japanese movie of the 90´s. Original plot, great cinematography, editing, and most of all - brilliant directing. A "CULT CINEMA" with every letter in it. (Sabu is Tarantino that Tarantino always wanted to be but can never be)
