REVIEWS
Artsmagic gives the film a royal treatment, with a 16:9 transfer, a 33 minute interview with Miike, and a commentary track by author Tom Mes. MetaMovie.de
What Miike does is to place an element from science fiction in a genre more commonly grounded in reality as we know it. Unlike Verhoeven's film, Full Metal Yakuza is not set in the future, but in the contemporary Japan of the crime film. The result is a collision between two genres ...and between artifice and realism ...that makes for delightful cinema. Midnight Eye
Hollywood should take some lessons from a man who pushes the envelope to shock and amuse. The Z Review
Takashi is liable to throw dumbfounding elements of hyper-unreality into the mix and leave the viewer picking their jaw up off the ground. Unrated Magazine
It's bizarre, it's crazy, it's brutal, it's gory, it's cool looking, it's faced paced, it's dynamic, it's enjoyable. it's one of them "seeing = believing" movies. Weird Asia
