A wicked cocktail of "Looney Tunes", π˜›π˜©π˜¦ 𝘏𝘰𝘢𝘴𝘦 π˜›π˜©π˜’π˜΅ π˜‘π˜’π˜€π˜¬ π˜‰π˜Άπ˜ͺ𝘭𝘡, 𝘊𝘳𝘒𝘯𝘬, and about 18 bags of crystal meth. Seldom has the term "bloodbath" ever been meant so literally, features perhaps the most gruesome and deeply unsettling throat slashes in all of cinema - and there's plenty of them. Remember that gag from 𝘏𝘰𝘡 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘡𝘴! π˜—π˜’π˜³π˜΅ π˜‹π˜¦π˜Άπ˜Ή where the little body count counter was in the corner of the screen while Charlie Sheen was gunning through hilarious amounts of enemies? That's pretty much this whole movie. Has such a primal sense of hyper, grisly fun - sets up one impossibly over-the-top scenario and then immediately tops it, rinse and repeat for 130 minutes. If it wasn't already clear that Tadanobu Asano is one of Japan's coolest and most magnetic actors then this makes the case ten-fold. He plays the role of Kakihara with an effortless, ice-cold, commanding gravitas. And that wardrobe! Just sadistically entertaining up and down, the type of film that makes you think like a juvenile psychopath.
