Review of Deadly Outlaw: Rekka (2002) by Tuco . — 01 Nov 2007
This is a little toned-down film from Miike that features Riki Takeuchi in the lead role as Kunisada, who leaves everything behind to avenge the death of his father. Not as violent as other, more popular Miike films, but still tough as nails.
The soundtrack features Flower Travelling Band's 1971 album Satori, which sounds like a cross between Black Sabbath and Black Flag and is very infectious. I read Miike found the album to be way ahead of its time and was delighted at how well and inconspicuously it cut into a movie made 30 years later.
You might be, too.
