Ratings and reviews

I was expecting a real Yakuza samurai kinda movie and this gives me the opposite. Why would anyone think walking slow-mos, sharp camera pannings and eating while torturing someone will make the movie any good? Characters weren't inspiring enough and direction was bad, just skip this, not your time's worth.

Dark atmospheric lighting, slow movements, and concerned expressions are used as a substitute for a story. Skip it.
