Jînzu burûsu: Asu naki buraiha

A genuine Japanese flick that feels like a cheap imitation from Hong Kong. Uninspired story -- "Bonnie and Clyde" without believable attraction between the heroes and without the social background. Add terrible too-directly illustrative music, very bad stunts-men who somersault too early, totally unrealistic gunshots and one really wonders how they found these all in the country of good craftsmanship! Sex scenes that are very mild by pinku standards but unpleasant nonetheless, like a rape endured apathetically without any fighting. But the worst is the acting, wooden from the part of the beautiful Meiko Kaji (she improves a little in the last ten minutes) and terribly overshot from all the others.

Two stars because there is 1970s coolness factor (cars and clothing) and because you can imagine Tarantino recycling his memories of this movie into something actually good. But you can find these in much better Japanese films of the era.
