Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall
Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
sinful-2 Gang tai Gang/Gyangu 3 is opening with a guy released from jail that visits his employer after taking 5 years in prison for doing a hit he was promised promotion for doing. But unfortunately his employer have forgotten all about that. With a mind for vengeance he finds some friends that have a plan. And then a lot of stuff happens.....Characters/Acting: The acting is fine but but not extraordinaire. The characters are maybe not paper thin but you just know what you need to know to make the story move along.Story: The story is fine for what it is. It is meant to entertain you. It is not meant to be a deep thinking mans movie. It moves along quite well following their plan.Verdict: First I will say it is not an easy movie to find but I enjoyed seeing it. It is above average for the time it is made I would say if you like black and white crime movies or old Japanese stuff then go for it if you see it. If you want action like in John Wick then pass it but the end does give some for the time good action.This is from a director I will try to find more from.
GUENOT PHILIPPE I am not surprised by this pure Yakuza film programmer. Koji Tsuruta plays here an ex con who, of course, gets back to business with his former associates just after being discharged. No real surprise but that's good enough for me, especially when I saw this in a superb copy. And you also have a terrific jazzy score that follows you all long the movie. Tsuruta is as awesome as ever, as the disillusioned gangster involved in drug traffic. And, as usual in film noirs, even from Japan, you can enjoy some cabaret atmosphere sequences. That's the perfect example of what the US film noir influence may have on the other countries. This feature actually doesn't focus on Yakuzas but instead on some ordinary folks who use heroin. Don't miss the exciting terrific car chase at the end.A pure gem.
