Review of Ichi the Killer (2001) by Senor C — 09 Jan 2011
I guess Takashi Miike didn't think that Ichi The Crybaby Killer had quite the same punch. When Ich went into his fits I was laughing my ass off. I don't think that I was supposed to but it was a nice relief from all the violence & woman beating.
Through all of it's excesses it doesn't go too far. Sure you get someone's tongue cut off, nipples slice clean off but when it comes to castration w/ a pair of scissors they leave the room but then you just get to imagine it for 4 minutes until you find out they didn't do it.
It's really Tabanobu Asano's show though who wears villainous purple better then the Joker. You even get a big CGI Joker smile @ the end the really needs to go.
