Ichi the Killer (2001) IMDb
Categorization |
Some humour, some horror, but mostly all-out grossness in imaginative forms, heavy on torture and large gobs of semen. Neither the violence nor people’s reactions to it are generally realistic. |

Subject |
A yakuza leader goes missing. His flamboyantly sadomasochistic disciple, and a far more sane ex-cop indebted to the vanished leader, eventually realize the identity of the guilty party: A ridiculously talented fighter with a mental age of about six. |

Commentary |
Excellent in its genre, which is a questionable one. |
