I quite enjoyed this; it's the first film from Toshiaki Toyoda that I have seen. He later directed Aoi Haru (Blue Spring) and 9 Souls - both available from Artsmagic, I really should watch them soon.

It's an interesting (perhaps quite confusing) tale of a loner youth, who wanders around efficiently killing off Yakuza. The violence is pretty intense, at times even over the top. I do think that it was filmed really well and the music was excellent. It's strange how whenever the main anthem comes on, I always felt that the movie was going to end (but it never did) - this happened around 3 times.

Check it out anyway and if someone can explain why the director chose that title, that'd be cool (as the film has nothing to do with porn or the porn industry).
