Review of Tokyo Drifter (1966) by Lurple J — 17 Apr 2008
A surreal gangster movie that is as stylish as it is violent. Actually it's more stylish than it is violent.
While the plot synopsis here calls the movie "nearly incomprehensible", I didn't find it that difficult to follow. The movie is definitely more about style than substance, but after the somewhat complicated setup the plot really becomes rather simplistic.
In any case, the film features an engaging hero, striking use of color, some great sets, nifty music, and a cool final showdown.
