Review of Sonatine (1993) by Kevin R — 19 Jun 2015
You're dead, asshole!
A mob boss and his friends are sent into a small town to help negotiate a treaty between rival gangs. The two negotiators are quickly ambushed and will need to rely on desperate measure if they hope to evade these two gangs and return home to safety.
"Maybe you're too rich for this business.".
Takeshi Kitano, director of The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi, Outrage, Beyond Outrage, Boiling Point, Violent Cop, Dolls, and Brother, delivers Sonatine. The storyline for this picture is very interesting and unfolds fairly well. There are some awkward scenes, but some intense and well done action. The cast includes Takeshi Kitano, Aya Kokumai, and Tetsu Watanabe.
"I'd feel safe when I'm pissing.".
I found this on Netflix and had to add it to my queue. I enjoyed this film for the most part. There were some awkward sequences that I felt were misguided, but the film itself is definitely worth a viewing. I probably wouldn't add it to my DVD collection.
Grade: B.
