Cold-blooded enough, neat enough.

A story of killing within a gang, for power, for profit, and finally someone profited.

Strong Kitano style - the simplest is the most brutal.

The whole page is smooth and smooth, and there are not too many extra plots. The only part that is a little hypocritical is the part of Shiina Jihei having sex when he says goodbye to his girlfriend.

Every few minutes there will be scenes of torture or death.

Seeing several new methods of torture, the first is to chop your fingers. This ancient bridge has been used many times, but unfortunately, I still can't watch it at a glance.

For the first time, only Takahashi Tsukamoto was cut off his fingers, and no specific shots were given.

The second time was when the second-in-command of the Murase group was forced to chop off his fingers with a utility knife, but the utility knife was not strong enough to cut it hard. However, in the end, Kitano Takeshi picked up the utility knife and slashed a big "X" on his face, his voice very ecstatic.

The third time, Kitano took the initiative to cut off his fingers in order to plead guilty to the boss. He first restrained his little finger with a rubber band until the top half of the finger turned purple, and then cut it off with a knife. This is presumably done to avoid pain, as the fingers would be numb without blood circulation.

Next is Takeshi Kitano helping his godfather, the boss of the Chi Yuan group to teach the boss of the Murase group. At the dental hospital, Kitano held a chainsaw for sawing teeth and stuck it in his mouth. He didn't dare to watch it. One of the shots found that the edge of the man's mouth was basically a chrysanthemum.

The person who gave me the most powerful feeling of dying was probably Shiina Jihei. He is Kitano Takeshi's most effective helper. After saying goodbye to his girlfriend, he took a bag of firearms to find the enemy. Who knew that the car was controlled by someone without even opening the door.
The enemy took him for a ride and drove to the road by the sea. In the car, a black bag was placed on his head and a long hemp rope was tied around his neck. The other end of the hemp rope was tied to the roadside guardrail. When the car door was not closed, when the car started, the person was pulled out by the rope and his neck was broken.

I don't know how many times I covered my eyes, I couldn't watch it at all. It feels even better than Battle Royale.

Therefore, the real cruelty is as simple as that, killing without blinking an eye. Whenever there is a slight hesitation, it becomes an emotional drama rather than a gangster drama.

The killing scenes in the movie are also very fast, and they are all to let you understand that the disputes between the gangs are all at the cost of the moment of life.

The underworld has always been ruthless. Whoever benefits from it and who it forms an alliance with is a foreshadowing of future betrayal.

The mantis catches silkworms, and the oriole is behind.

A person standing on a high place watching this fight is like watching a beast fight, they can't hurt themselves, they just find it interesting. But a guy who is too arrogant, in the end, is also a chess piece that has been calculated.

Where is the eternal boss? Eternal forever is only right.

The perspective of Takashi Tsukamoto, Yoshihira Shiina, and the perspectives of various other people who were caught while fleeing, all inevitably made people feel hopeless—what’s the use of running away? Everything is out of your control, and in the end there is only a tragic death.
