Review of Ichi the Killer (2001) by Joe T — 09 Jul 2009
It's kind of a cult movie. It's neither great gore-porn (gore it has, execution is lacks) nor a great film. So many layers of confusion with an ending that just smudges everything into a mess. It left the group of us that watched it physically and emotionally exhausted. We were going to have a movie marathon, but we just had to quit since the effort required to finish Ichi was so draining.
In its defense, the scene where Shinya Tsukamoto beats up that guy is ridiculously funny.
