Too hard to follow. It has great music, though!, 24 September 2004
5/10
Author: zetes from Saint Paul, MN

A yakuza film about turf warfare. It seems like it should be decent. It has some good acting and some good direction. But I found the story nearly impossible to follow. Too much plot, but it ended up seeming like a bunch of yakuza mindlessly stabbing each other. I never knew who was on whose side. In the end, it turned out very forgettable. However, it contains one of the best musical scores ever, by Hajime Kaburagi. His scores also include Tokyo Drifter and Stray Cat Rock: Sex Hunter (also directed by Hasebe). With these three films, Kaburagi establishes himself in my mind as one of the best composers of cinematic scores. I wish I could find some of his work on CD! 5/10.
