Damn, they never wanted to fight, they were just homies 😔 You know I really love a maturely crafted, well told, bluntly violent throwback noir, and Hasebe honestly surprised me with this one, with its modern filmmaking sheen and sly revisionist genre sensibilities. What really helped engage me and keep my interest, too, was the unexpected emotional depth of the film's storytelling, not just showcasing great action and drama, but also the deeper, complicated relationship dynamics between the main characters. Massacre Gun looks and feels much like a film you'd expect, but it really ended up being far more thoughtful than I would've guessed, and I'm all about that when it comes to good crime films.

I’m not going to bother reviewing the movie because I figure if you’re thinking of buying this you know what the movie is…but in case you don’t, I will only say that if you have seen sixties Godard films, like Alphaville, that may be the closest kind of experience to this. Arrow´s release is beautiful. It’s amazing that relatively unknown films like this can get such beautiful treatment. . Fans of this film will definitely NOT be disappointed.
