Most helpful review Ichi The Killer

This is the censored version too!!!!!

By Goldenboots (53 reviews) from East Grinstead, England , 31 Mar 2004

[Highly rated reviewer]

This is a very violent Japanese gangland film (read other reviews here for plot etc), but if you think this one is very gory, remember this is the heavily censored version. And it is still very very gory. The Dutch and the Australian versions are uncensored and make this look like Playschool. I have seen both, and if you like hardcore violence, try to get a copy or rent one of those versions, then compare to see how tame this one was. Good luck for those with strong stomachs.

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

for gore factor its a 10A*+ but i found the movie hard to follow and the ending made no sense and seemed to have parts missing that could have avoided the non explanation of certain bits of the story but as always another movie that has bested ours and the americans horror/slasher genre because of its bare knuckle and outrageous content that you just cant get in our horrors would put it up there with battle royale as a great movie but would need to see uncensored and extended version to fully understand the script. overall if you like blood, guts, decapitations and a sick sense of humour then its a must

Itching to press the stop button!

By walesrob (8 reviews) from Aberystwyth , 10 Oct 2012

Just plain silly is how I can sum this one up. Excessive violence coupled with a vague storyline make this film hard work. Disappointed.

Ichi the killer killed me

By a customer , 22 Jul 2011

This is really OTT stuff and not for the faint hearted. Right from the word go we are splattered with blood and guts (literally) and it got even worse with a torture scene never seen before on film. If this is the kind of thing that turns you on then 5 stars but as a movie then it is too much. Only the Japanese can do this sort of thing.

I wouls watch this again & that's saying something.

Sexy lady with amazing swordskill. Who am I to complain? Fujhara Toma should have practised more often with a real sword. Seriously I honestly believed there might have been a clasp or glue preventing him from drawing his sword.
