Review of 1-Ichi (2003) by Super G — 04 May 2010
This movie was very amateur in terms of Cinematography and I would be lying If I said at times I't doesn't look like someting some college film students put together. Compared to Takashi Miikes classic this movie really falls short. However I still enjoyed this movie. First off I really liked the score in this film. It was stylisticly very similar to Ichi the Killer although I'm sure Karera Musication played no part in the music for this movie. This movie some how although not being perfect kept me interested and entertained. I enjoyed the cast's performance. The acting was decent enough. Sligtly twisted yet also funny it had many of the traits as the first film. This is a movie about sexual sadism but more so It was a movie about the male ego.
Maybe this movies intention wasn't to beat its Predecessor but was simply trying to give a different flavour in a more stripped down kind of way. I would say watch this movie because it is good in its own way but if your expecting anything like the first film you may be disapointed.
