Takashi Miike’s distinctive brand of organized crime movie comes to UK DVD from Arrow Video on Monday.
Deadly Outlaw Rekka, his inspired fusion of 70s Rock n Roll and gun toting Japanese gangsters is a off beam and eccentric as the best of the directors work, which includes Happiness of the Katakuris, Ichi the Killer, Visitor Q and Audition.
The great thing about a Miike movie? You literally don’t know what to expect. His films have featured everything from musicial numbers and zombies to lactating women filling a kitchen with milk. So who knows what strangeness you’ll come across in this one…
Here’s some reviews of the movie. Some may contain spoilers
BRUTAL AS HELL – “Enough grit… and batshit weirdness to leave the viewer satisfied”
JAPAN CINEMA – “It’s almost wall-to-wall action”
WEIRD WILD REAL – “The soundtrack is the best Miike has ever had”
McBASTARD MAUSOLEUM – “A must-see”
Plus! Win the DVD over at HORROR ASYLUM
