Review of Detective Bureau 2-3: Go to Hell, Bastards! (1963) by Brook K — 23 Apr 2010
While Detective Bureau 2-3 is one of Seijun Suzuki's most straightforward films, lacking much of the cinematic flourishes and wild style he is famous for, I also found this to be one of the better scripts he had to work with.
It's a very solid detective/yakuza film that packs a ton of action and plenty of humor, often centered on sour-faced star Joe Shishido. And for any fan of Suzuki/Shishido, Joe's fab song-and-dance scene is a must see.
