Review of 1-Ichi (2003) by Spooner J — 21 Jun 2007
This is a very simple film and yet is pretty decent as well. It is basically a must see for any true fan of Ichi the Killer, though it is not directed by Miike. Also, if we believe the old man in Ichi the Killer and he really did simply implant all those memories about bullies into Ichi's mind, than it seems like this film never really happened or it is simply a collection of the memories that were implanted into Ichi's mind.
Considering aspects like this and its connection to Ichi the Killer make the film more interesting and give greater meaning to the film. It is decent enough of its own, but I would really only recommend viewing this prequel after first seeing Ichi the Killer.
