This is one of my favourite neo-noir films. The film follows a cop in Japan who is violent hence the name violent cop. His partner is caught up in a drug dealing scandal leading to a search and well he turns up dead (no surprise) From then on its a search to uncover who killed him and who was involved the movie is incredibly gritty and dark. With the typical Japanese dark humour similar to Miike in style. What really makes this stand out is the combination of the acting and music it really helps influence the mood of the film. There is plenty of action and violence to keep you interested and you really care about the main character. It doesn't have one of your typical Hollywood action film endings either so if you haven't seen this great film watch it now. Story 4/5 acting 5/5 gore and effects 3/5 music 5/5
