Ichi the Killer (2001)

3 1/2 Stars (out of 4)

Ichi and Nasty

By Jeffrey M. Anderson

Buy Ichi the Killer on DVD

Japanese "B" movie master Takashi Miike follows up last year's Dead or Alive and Audition with this new gross-out classic. A sadistic gangster tries to avenge his boss by hunting down a brainwashed (and possibly schizophrenic) killer named Ichi. Bodily fluids of all times spray the screen while Ichi slices a man in half and filets the face off of another.
