VERY GOOD

I really like Takeshi Kitano. His movies are all with combination of drama and action. In this film, because its in America, she seldom speak but everytime he talk, is with a combination of humor. Great movie. Worth buying!! |

good movie

This is actually the first movie I've ever bought online and at the time i loved it so much it became my favorite..This is a must buy for any gangster head like myself who loves gangster films. Marcus Epps and Tak have great chemistry in this movie. Not a very long movie and moves very quickly which i didn't really like. Overal, great buy |

Brother Japanese version Running Time & Motion
|
This film is a special favourite of mine, understated & well paced. As far as the film itself you will find plenty of reviews, if it is your taste you will probably love it too. Hearing that there was a large difference between the uncut & cut version I looked & found this. Assured the running time was 144 mins I bought it. Be warned the running time is 108.42 mins (1hour 49 min) without credits. Now incase you are looking at your version & reckon it is nearly 4 mins shorter again be warned. I have run this version next to my old copy (film four version) and there is NO EXTRA FOOTAGE. The UK version just runs a bit quicker. I suspect that the film four version (white cover) is the uncut version at 104.20 mins or 108 mins as it says on the box. So both are the same version....almost. The footage is the same BUT here are two considerations for this Japanese version: + If you are Japanese or understand fluently, the subtitles can be completely switched off. (Film four version when off still translates the Japanese; as the Japanese version will not translate the English speech when on English subs). - The Japanese version whether viewed at 720 or 1080 resolution on a plasma screen suffers greatly from motion blur horizontal lines. This is most annoying BUT does not seem to be a problem when viewed on an 18 inch LCD PC flatscreen. The picture also, by comparison of version, seems not as sharp and possibly a little darker. Rate: Film 9/10 Japanese Version 6/10 Hope this helps. |

It was a pretty good gangster film with some wicked scenes. This actually showed me how a life with a gang can lead to a deadend. You'll love the scene with the chopsticks. |
