# Brooding actor creates a deadly love triangle.
# A much-appreciated artpiece from Ichi the Killer auter Takashi Miike as he works his way toward the 100 directing credit mark. The overall show is masterful in all respects and is a great addition to Japan’s Psycho film genre.

# The story
is such that reality and the play are not easily defined. Merit is due to its
execution, offering a clean riff on an underused idea. There are some heartfelt
assertions, a great tone of darkness and almost illustrative aesthetic
texturing.
# Liking Ichi
the Killer gives no guarantee to liking this film. Yet, it does have a similar
visual language and is undeniably a 'masterwerk'.

4.1/5
# Classical-feeling dude-centric comedy about the ‘Weird Science’ scenario with the accidentally
created robot replaced with lost one.
# Low budget
but honestly endearing, provides a litmus test at the start. If you can handle
it, you’re in for a pleasant show. Edited somewhat unimaginatively, this
B-movie work is a show of competency in all respects.
# May not be
the funniest film but it will keep a smile on your face with above-decent leads
and some recognisable faces in the supporting cast. Its whimsical but often
nonsensically serious tone lends a uniqueness and honesty to the film.
# Completely
unoriginal in its main procession, but entertaining enough to warrant a cheap
or free single viewing. Not for men to like around their girlfriends.
