Highly entertaining Japanese action movie., 9 August 2002
6/10
Author: Sparagmos from United Kingdom

The first Japanese film I ever watched was Kinji Fukasaku's 'Battle Royale'. 'Battle Royale' is quite simply a masterpiece and left me wanting to see more from the same director. 'The Triple Cross' doesn't come anywhere close to the brilliance of 'Battle Royale'. There are flashes of Kinji Fukasaku's genius, but although 'The Triple Cross' is undoubtedly a very fine action movie, it lacks the originality of 'Battle Royale'

'The Triple Cross' is about a group of criminals who make a robbery but end up with less than what they expected. The members of the criminal gang argue between themselves and the remaining hour and a bit of the movie is out and out action of car chases, shoot outs and explosions.

It is always difficult to judge the scripts of subtitled films if you don't speak the language the film was in originally because, too often,

the subtitled text is nothing like what is actually spoken so I'm not going to criticize some of the poor dialogue of the film. The acting is of a high standard, the direction is quality and the film uses the budget to the maximum. 'The Triple Cross' is one highly entertaining action movie and certainly one, if given the chance I would like to see again, and one I would recommend. It's fast paced enough that the subtitles aren't a problem and is a cinematic effort that deserves to be seen by more people.
