Notes

My quick rating - 6,9/10. Very good movie that only suffered from some pacing issues and long, drawn out scenes and camera work. Since Takeshi Kitano is known for that, no surprise. Didn't much care for the ending either (not how it happened, just the particular way the last bit went) Small gripes aside, still a very good gangster flick showing the Yakuza mentality in the United States.
