Customer Reviews of Yakuza Demon
Nice job Seiji (Takeuchi Riki) loves his boss Muto like his own father, so much that when Muto's life is in danger he hides him in jail on a minor charge and pulls off a much mpre cavelier assasination attempt then asked of Muto (Seiji aims for the big boss) of a much stronger (500 to 1 man ratio) yakuza boss in Muto's place to protect his elder from the danger of this job Muto must accomplish to repay an outstanding debt. The syndicate to which Muto's family belong can't take they retalitory heat and they hang Seiji and his family out to dry. Seiji was taken in as an orphean by Muto and he and Yoshifumi (his "brothers") are all that Seiji has in this world to comfort him from the Kikou (the voice through which the dead cry) that haunt his soul. This movie, although shot on a low budget is in my opinion superior to many "theater" Yakuza movies currently offered up in Japan. Takeuchi brillantly plays a truly Sympathtic character that epitmizes the Honor, Brotherhood and Courage that make one a true yakuza brother. I won't give away the movie with a full synopsis (although you will find a "spoiler" on the DVD box), but I will say this movie has less action and more drama than the other yakuza movies offered up by Miike-san. All in all not a bad flic, and the ending is particularly evocative.
Tame for Miike...
For one of my favorite directors, Takashi Miike, this is a more sane offering. It's a Yakuza brotherhood, betrayal and revenge flick basically. Like many Miike offerings it has sporatic bursts of violence mixed with scenes of serious dialogue and lots of eating here. I appreciated the scenes of the Japanese countryside, nice break from many of his films being shot in and around the Shinjuku district of Tokyo (though I love that too). For fans of his all action, bizarre extravaganzas, this might be a bit slow though I found enough redeeming qualities to enjoy. The last line of the movie is what I'll close with, "You're way cool man."
