My review:
WARNING: DO NOT watch this film if you have violence or rape issues!!!!!!!!!! This film is full of scenes of extreme torture, rape, and mutilation. You have been warned.
It's almost impossble to review this; You just have to see it for yourself. Ichi is played wonderfully, as is uber masochist-sadist Kakihara. Most other parts are played failrly well but Kakihara, played by
Tadanobu Asano really steals the show overall. His speeches while being beaten are simple but evil. His body mods are cool and scary at once. Asano's potrayal of Kakihara as quiet and cool adds a sinister dimension to the character.
Ichi is played excellently as the Boy-man-pushover-ultra-sadist-rapemonger.
Nao Omori excellently captures all of these traits in one character and is very believable.
synopsis:
If you dont like subtitles don't bother. if you are not a person with a very morbid streak and like of gore you will not like this film. It genreally isn't something you watch with a female due to the overall extreme violence and rapes of women in the film.
