Kitano-sensei, the "okay" evaluation is far from enough.

When "Extremely Wicked" was first released, I also saw many bad reviews in the media, such as the old-fashioned themes that didn't break through. But I always feel that no matter how old-fashioned the subject matter of gangster films, you can always appreciate the charm of Kitano-style violent aesthetics. So I watched the movie before my flight at 6pm.

To be honest, I despise those film critics who give negative comments: How can you be so straightforward as a human being? ! This kind of honesty is basically a 2B quality that will be abused to death in the current Chinese society.

Closer to home, there is no sharp color, no funny, no distinctive protagonist, except for one or two places that can make people feel familiar. Compared with the previous works of Kitano, "Extremely Evil" can be said to be a very serious tradition. In Japanese gangster films, the concept of "all villains" is nothing new.

New breakthroughs in the so-called violent aesthetics, such as the close-up of the knife cutting fingers, are not shocking to me who is used to watching cult movies. The lack of novelty is what disappoints me the most about this movie.
