Ichi the Killer

yeah, Backfires right, not an amazing film, but not a entriely rotten one either. while much of it did rely on shock, the story came across disjointed and while some of the gore was top rate, it lacked left right and center. worth a rent, not worth a buy

just watched and all I could say when it was over is "thats one screwed up flick!" .some of the gore was great and some of the torture scenes were jaw dropping ...he has a very artistic eye cause some of shots were unique and cool.

but the down side to ichi the killer is the story line was uninteresting and way to all over the place as tabby said it was disjointed and left me wanting to fast forward through it. worth a watch though.

i got it on DVD, and its one kick ass movie

Hated it and "Audition".

LOL!That is a funny name for a movie!So what is it about and what is it rated?JM

Jackie, I suggest using IMDB. You may want to research some of these movies you have questions about because I see TOO MANY threads where you post in there, having no clue. It's a great reference tool.

Great movie, i definitely have the unrated cut on DVD! that nipple torture scene was preety much difficult to watch and was very remenscene of the Nipple slicing with razor scene from Lucio Fulci's sleazy cult classic " The New York Ripper".

The movie does have great gory moments and it felt like a live-action anime brought to life, for those who loved Ichi should watch these similar movies:

" Riki-Oh The Story of Ricky".
" Battle Royale".
" Re-Animator".
" The New York Ripper".
" House on the Edge of the Park".
" Last House on The Left".
" Maniac ( 1980)".
" Driller Killer".
" Batman ( 1989)".
" Daredevil".
" Kill Bill Vol. 1".
" Audition".
" Visitor Q".
" Ichi 0". ( An anime prequel)
" Pieces".
" Versus".
" Freddy Vs. Jason".
" Caligula".

Enjoy!

Batman and Daredevil? Those were the furthest from my mind after seeing Ichi.

Those sound like Netflix recommendations to moi...

audition was heavy

Surprised "Versus" wasn't mentioned in here yet.

😆 ...yeah...versus is pure comedy...love that film

MPD-Psycho is a TV series directed by Miike, its twisted genius. You can buy it on DVD.

I thought it was edited for television? Static over the gore, etc.
