This is a pretty sick little tale, but you’d expect nothing less from Miike. A completely original and unpredictable movie, it has undeniable replay value, and it’s so much fun to show your friends. The ending is my favorite though.

    After reading most of the reviews posted here on Amazon, I just had to post my own.

    I cannot believe how many people just don’t “get” what this movie is about! This movie is not about the Yakuza in Japanese society, an exercise in pointless violence to sell tickets or dvds, or any other such nonsense. The director just uses these as backdrops for his own purposes. Takashi Miike is playing and having a hell of a lot of fun. This movie invites the viewer to go along for the ride. It’s totally over the top and that’s where it belongs. Is the latest thrill-ride roller coaster from theme-park hell a “statement”? Of course not. It’s just a thrill-ride. Every character is a joke and every scene in the movie is just one hilarious joke after another. Granted, it’s very black humor but that doesn’t make it any less hilarious. Why can’t people just accept that and laugh along with him?

    If you want to see (good) bleak Yakuza movies with social themes, check out any of the titles in his earlier Black Society Trilogy (aka Black Triad Trilogy): Shinjuku Triad Society, Rainy Dog, and Ley Lines. These are gripping statements of alienation, corruption and emotional disintegration in Japanese society.

    Too many people want to limit this director. It must really annoy him that his audience wants the same kind of movie every time he makes one. He’s not interested in making the film Audition (or fill in the blank with another title) another fifty times. I for one don’t want him to either.

    Folks, it’s just a wonderful joke. Laugh!

    The actual film gets 4 out of 4 from me (amazon and most sites only let you rate 5 out of 5), but after close to a year of waiting after this disc got pushed back and back, the end result is a completely unacceptable Bluray disc. The image quality, I’m sorry to say, is no different than the DVD and looks to be derived from the DVD with marginally increased sharpness. The sound quality is what made me return the disc. The Japanese Dolby Digital 5.1 track sounds AWFUL! Worse than the DVD, which had a great 5.1 mix. Also, it looks as if the only Dolby True-HD tracks on the disc are both English and Japanese Dolby TrueHD 2.0! Why would you include an HD 2.0 mix on an HD disc that most definitely has 5.1 audio. I’ve seen ‘Ichi the Killer’ theatrically and know all too well that it looks and sounds better than this. Sorry I had to burst the bubbles of many eager ‘Ichi’ fans (myself included), but I sent this back almost immediately after buying it. A shame.
