I accidentally saw this movie when I was looking through the TV box at home. I have seen a lot of Kitano Takeshi's strange movies before, but I haven't watched many of those gangster movies. Maybe it was also affected by the death of Osugi, and I really wanted to see a Japanese gangster movie (but he didn't appear in this movie...
When I watched it, I found a lot of familiar faces in the Japanese drama "Spec", but I didn't recognize Miura at all in "Blood Doubt" back then, haha, and sure enough, after a man gets old and fat, the charm basically disappears. I have a deep impression on Ryo Kato. His setting in the film is a talent who can speak English, and his role is very heavy, and his English is not a Japanese pronunciation. After a check, I found out that he used his American life background. . The main force of the gang is also Shiina who often appears in Japanese dramas. The policeman is a little Hinata who plays a lot of simple and honest old men now. My impression of him is still "Republished" and "Byplayers 2". It's really uncomfortable to see him play the policeman who is indifferent. Haha. The black consul is also a familiar face in Japanese dramas, and there is also a country village who often plays big shots.
This film feels a bit like a film from the enemy's perspective of "The Godfather", that is to say, the film started as a small group of Kitano Takeshi who was in the limelight. This film has been filmed several times, and I doubt whether Kitano Takeshi thought that this film would not be popular enough to make a series, or he would not have set his character so ruthless at the end. The film is indeed like a lot of people say that it is an internal gang fight, but the police end up okay, and there are basically no police officers. This is a bit different from the European and American gangster films. Speaking of which, if this film is remade in Europe and America, I don’t know what it will be look.
This film is basically all male, after all, the Japanese underworld is dominated by males, and the description of cutting fingers is very detailed. In addition, the firearms of Japanese gangsters are also very popular. I feel that the firepower is not worse than that of Italian gangsters. It is not the kind of gang that I imagined to chop with Japanese knives. This is also the difference from Japanese gangsters in European and American films.
