Ichi the killer

[benj2006]

anyone seen, thoughts?

[Chinatown Kid]

I seen it and was grossed out. If you like disturbing and sleazy type pics it's a must see, but this kind of film is not to my tastes. Lots of sadism and torture.

[shaolindogpaw]

it wasn't the type of movie i would normally watch. Lots of senseless violence and shock value, at times it was unconfortable. I like some movies like that if its so over the top that it becomes funny like in "Riki-oh!" or has blood and guts but also has an interesting storyline like "Gozu"

btw, anyone seen Gozu... its pure insanity.

a fantastic movie....if ur into gratuitous, over the top, gory type movies.

lots of disturbing scenes of torture, rape, etc....which wasnt what bothered me..it was the fact that most of the "controversial" scenes, just had no real purpose. almost felt like Miike put them in just for the sake of putting them in. not to mention that the ending makes no sense. but on the other hand, its brilliantly shot and the characters are very fascinating.

u'll either really like this movie, or hate it.

I thought it wa ok, but what was the ending about????????????

[Reincarnation Of Thundering Mantis]

To me the most disturbing scene is the flashback to when the young school girl attempts to save Ichi from some bullies. What happens next and how Ichi feels about it was disturbing and really sad.

Then how Shinya Tsukamoto's character manipulates and exploits these "memories" within the fragile mind of Ichi for his own sick needs.

Other than a lot of the onscreen violence is kind if over the top and cartoonish with a couple of bad cgi enhance gore shots. Except for the violence against women that's some harsh stuff.

the cgi was awful in this movie too..

[drunkenmantis13]

If you like sick Japanese stuff, you're more than served here! Miike's sickest most depraved film. Makes little sense though like stated by others. I dig it!

Btw, Gozu is quite cool.

[The Running Man]

The movie is exaggerated in how violent it is and most people just jump on the bandwagon. None of it is disturbing really since, as been said, almost all the violence is cartoony, most of it takes place off screen, and the CGI was real bad. How anyone can get disturbed by that is beyond me.

Miike's Visitor Q is far more sick than this movie. And Gozu is one of Takeshi Miike's best films.

[venomsfreak]

I guess I'm sick because I really liked Visitor Q.:rollin It was extremely twisted but I found it very funny.

[Dahnamics]

yall crazy, this movie was dope as hell..

my favorite part is when ol boy is "hangin out" while hes interrogated by the blonde dude about the whereaboutts of his boss..
