After a decade’s absence, Takeshi Kitano returns to the yakuza genre with this violent, blood-soaked Bad Guy vs. Worse Guy revenge tale of feuding crime organizations. Kitano stars as a ruthless mobster assigned the task of straightening out a rival gang. He does so with great precision and an overabundance of psycho prejudice. Stunning to look at, the climactic gang war will please even the most jaded fans of the genre. With Kippei Shiina and Ryo Kase. (2011) — Scott Marks
