Customer Ratings & Reviews

Takashi Miike's 2002 film "Deadly Outlaw Rekka" is a fairly straightforward film. There are no incredibly perverse scenes, and there's barely any graphic violence. It does stand up as a definite highlight of Miike's career because it's just so entertaining. The film is about two yakuzas who avenge their leader's death. It's not a great plot, but it's pulled off in such a way that only Takashi Miike could do. The soundtrack for this film is great -- the music fits perfectly with the film. The cinematography is cool -- as are the handful of instances of blood splashing on the camera's lens. The DVD has considerabe print damage, but it doesn't detract heavily from the film. After a while, I got used to it and didn't notice it. There is also a lack of special features, but it's still a worthwhile release. Highly recommended.
