Takashi Miike's "Ichi
the Killer" is a masterpiece of insane cinema.This film is surely
challenging-filled with enough sadistic violence and rape to satisfy
fans of Japanese harrowing cinema.It's based on the popular manga by
Hideo Yamamoto.The character of Ichi is truly amazing-he is a mysterious
figure who slices various individuals into numerous bloody pieces with
razor sharp blades strapped to his boots.The gore is pretty extreme as
Ichi literally slices people in half with his razor-sharp boots.The
acting is surprisingly good-Nao Omori and Tadanobu Asano are impressive
as Ichi and Kakihara.Highly recommended,especially if you have strong
stomach.9 out of 10.
