Another gangster film from Takashi Miike. This one involving Brazilians and the Chinese mafia.Not sure what happened to the story with this one. Either I wasn't watching it properly, ot it wasn't enaging enough for me to follow it properly.
This guy called Marco, Brazilian, flies to the Japanese border in a hi-jacked chopper to pick up his Chinese girlfriend. They end up in Japan somehow, and steal a case of hi quality yayo offa this Chinese mafia boss (who has the hots for Marco's girlfriend, bu she doesn't have the hots for him). The cocaine was meant to be dealt to this Yakuza cheif, and he goes on an ultra-violent interogation after he loses his cocaine.
Some unpredicatable twists n turns, some funny moments- there's CGI chicken fight scene that rips off the Matrix, which was moderately funny (actually I thought it was pretty cute how they tried to get laughs off that... the CGI chickens aren't all that great looking, but I can still appreciate the effort). The ending was pretty funny too, but the plot was very disengaging at times.
My rating: 5.8/10
