impressive early work by director that went onto to be a master. Very taught and reliable pacing which will keep your knees-knocking and be careful not to slip off the edge of your sofa. Wonderful visuals and canny camera work. is it ironic? I'm not sure within the context of the Japanese aesthetic? I really enjoy these early examples of a director's work before they enter their mature period and you see all the components and hard work and refinements brought to bear in an eventual masterpiece. If you like a Japanese cinema and your crime films with a thumping heart beat this might be one for you. Advisory- top up the popcorn trays first.
