      Karate kid meets Ichi the Killer
      This is a fantastic movie filled with plenty of action and humor. To sum up, I'd say it kind of like a cooler, more realistic, much much more violent version of the karate kid. This is one of my all-time favorite films. The characters were well cast and each has their own back story which pulls you effortlessly into the centre of the storyline. While you wont have to leave your brain at the door, you also wont need to pay attention to every single detail to thoroughly enjoy this movie. The director used a very interesting style of point of view filming which makes it seem as though you are growing with the main character through his experiences of his everyday life. This movie deserves a solid 10 in my opinion, as I can find nothing that should have been done differently.
