cruel gun story

Should be called "Crude Gun Story" since it's a not very sophisticated or original re-make of Kubrick's "The Killing". And Joe Shishido makes Sterling Hayden look like Daniel Day Lewis. I guess if you admire the work of its director you'll call this thing an "homage". I, however, prefer the term "cheap imitation" like so much of what was made in Japan in the early 60s.
