Customer Reviews of American Yakuza

Predictable story line but did not bore me
It was very predictable ending and not so exciting plots or anything, but was fast pace and entertaining enough for me to watch for 90 minutes. There were a lot of bloody scenes as expected, but it was not about all the actions in the movie, which kept my interest. It was about trust, loyalty, brotherhood between two men who came from the two different worlds.

'B' at it's best....
Clearly a 'B' movie, but a good 'B' movie. A few characters may have gone over the top at times, but Viggo came out shining. The bond that grew between Nick and Shu was heartwarming. I would have liked to see the relationship develop more, perhaps replacing the weak and thankfully brief love angle, but overall I thoroughly enjoy this movie. I believe any admirer of Viggo Mortensen's work should add this one to their collection.

Lots of action - with a twist!
American Yakuza is a fast moving action drama starring Viggo Mortensen in a rather unfamiliar part as an undercover FBI agent. As it turns out he also masters this sort of character. I liked the movie firstly because of this great actors ability to add extra layers to this tough agent i.e. sensitivity, loyalty and even humanity.Secondly the film is interestingly shot film noir'ish and the musical score also adds to the atmosphere in a positive way. The plot is OK and with a twist that shouldn't be revealed beforehand.
