After watching this you'll scream, "Give Me My Money Back!"

God, where to start with this piece of crap! First of all I'm a huuugge fan of cinematic weirdness my collection of Greg (God) Araki films can attest to that. But this film just made me want to kick my television screen in. Overflowing with flat out stupid moments (what the hell was with those midgets at the bank?) and one of the most frustrating twist endings in film history (What a copout! they abandon the central bankrobbing story to poke fun at Godzilla and Herbie the Love Bug. What? Why?) Plus the print I saw was in untranslated Japanese so this film was waaaayyy more incomprehensible then it had any right to be.

Glib, stupid, unfunny, and ugly. (Enough with the Peter Max visuals Numuri!) The people behind this pop art atrocity should be drug into an alley and beaten with a sack of hammers.

Check out Violent Street for effective Japanese surrealism and satire.

This movie is the unending hourglass of pain.

Japanese cinema is celebrated for its refined minimalist dramas and avant-garde experimentation; it also introduced popular genres like jidaigeki (samurai epics), kaiju, and anime. Across both high art and mass entertainment, it often explores morality, impermanence, and the pressures of modern life.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.

Meiko is a young woman who is working out her issues concerning the relationship she had with her father by torturing and murdering men who look like him. After she kills the father of Maki and Yoshi (skinning him alive first), the two men coerce her into joining their planned bank robbery spree. The procedure for their heists is for Meiko and Yoshi to behave in such a bizarre manner that nobody in the bank notices it's being robbed. Things go well for them at first, but eventually their individual fears and neuroses start to get the better of them.
