I am always interested in Japanese films to begin with.
I saw this film advertised in a catalog & the price was very reasonable, so I bought it.
I played it right away when it came & I was both astonished & pleased,.
This is not a pleasant story to watch as one of the leads is very much disabled,But does not play a patsy for the other man.
There fighting is like a ballet, beautifully choreographed..
The film is only an hour long,(including credits) yet it tells a full story, that with other filmmakers would be twice as long.
If this film were rated it would be a definite NC-!7 as it is not for children of any age.
Since this movie is not for all tastes I cannot give it a higher rating
Rating: *** (out of 4) 85 points (out of 100) IMDb 8 (out of 10)
