Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Phil Hubbs Talk about frenzy, this film is completely screwball crazy with guns and explosions on top! Quite literately a frenetic manga adaptation which is balls to the wall with massive fights, lopped off body parts and fountains of blood.Its Japanese and you do expect this but even this is insane, the plot isn't too complex and basically revolves around a Yakuza assassin getting vengeance against the killing of his gang boss father. There is double cross in there too but this film is really all about the crazy ass effects and shock value gore. The cost doesn't look too high as much of the effects on show are your basic old techniques which range from looking effective to down right silly but this isn't really suppose to be more than a fun low budget B-movie.Add in some outrageous CGI when 'Shozo' gets his arm replaced with a mini-gun and his knee turned into a rocket launcher (yep you read correctly) and you get some really quite daft looking results. Tonnes of carnage and a never ending stream of henchmen, both fun and stupid.The only cast member I know of is good old Tak Sakaguchi and here he plays the main role, it suits him well and he looks good with his little porkpie type hat on. The whole film swings from slick and cool to down right ludicrous and will only appeal to people who like these type of Japanese ultra violent comicbook films. Personally I think the original manga comic probably works better, I haven't read or seen it but clearly its something that's hard to translate to film (bit Like 'Tank Girl').5/10

KineticSeoul This is one of those Japanese movies that is so bad it's good or passable or so bad that it's awful. In this case it's alright. Sure the CGI and action scenes look so fake but it's not distracting for a movie like this and adds to the humor of it all. The fight choreography is designed by the team that did "Versus" which isn't really a good movie but a passable one as well. Everything about this movie is just plain wacky and cartoon like and to a degree it works. But the makers of this flick knows what direction it's trying to go. And it's a far from serious one. It's obvious they just mixed in their wacky vision with a shoe string budget. And to some degree it's amusing and that is what this flick is. It's a amusing action packed violent flick. Just when some parts seem predictable it goes in a amusing wacky direction that is humorous. Even the action is unpredictable and has shock factor to it. The protagonist is likable for a selfish conceited obnoxious yakuza as well and is a badass. And the guy can take a beating and when I say beating means can take a hit from a RPG. And his sidekicks are likable as well. Overall if you like movies like "Machine Girl" and such with bunch of wacky scenarios that doesn't make much sense and a lot of violent action that is over the top. You just might enjoy this one. I didn't have much expectation for this flick but my enjoyment factor elevated as the movie progressed.8/10

gavin6942 This is the story of a yakuza member who goes off to be a mercenary in South America, and returns to find the criminal underworld run by his enemies.While this movie has some funny parts, and the story has some level of potential, it is just so poorly made. The film quality is bad, the special effects are bad, the CGI is bad.The only film I can remotely compare this to is "Machine Girl", with one big difference: Machine Girl is awesome, and this film is awful. Fans of Asian sci-fi may enjoy it, I am not sure. But I just found practically nothing redeeming in it.My suggestion is to avoid this.

KBeee If you liked Machine Girl, Tokyo Gore Police or Versus you'll love this.Starting with an homage to Rambo, Tak Sakaguchi's "Yakuza Weapon" quickly ascends to the realms of tongue-in-cheek over the top violence and gore that only Asian cinema seems to reach.Tak Sakaguchi plays Shozo Iwaki, the son of a Japanese Yakuza boss, who returns to Japan after 4 years as a mercenary in South America to avenge his fathers death.If a Hollywood Good Guy can implausibly be missed by a machine gun at point blank range, or outrun an explosion in slow motion, then Shozo can be missed or dodge 10 automatics, and surf the explosion to the Baddies tent! Plus homing sticks of dynamite... catching RPG's in your bare hands... spikes on the bottom of his shoes that'll put a hole right through your head... you get my drift.It's hilarious. Many laugh out loud moments, and spontaneous applause at the end (only the third time I've heard that in a UK cinema).Highly recommended.On a side note, there is one scene where Shozo walks up a stairway killing all the foes he meets on his way, that was supposed to be shot in one take after 2 hours rehearsal, but they needed 2 takes because Tak broke his neck during the first take!That's dedication for you.
