Comparatively tame when compared to Takeshi Miike's later shock cinema classics.

If you're a connoisseur of this type of gory head-banging, you should be impressed.

Every so often a film comes along that just breaks your heart... and then there are films like this one that hit you in the head like an aluminum baseball bat.

Restraint is not a concept in the cinematic vocabulary of Miike Takashi.
