Ichi the Killer
The Story
Since I noticed a lack of gore on our humble little blog, I hereby introduce Kakihara, a sadomasochistic yakuza member — that’s the Japanese mafia if you were asking. When his boss Anjo disappears with 300 million yen, they soon get to know his disturbed killer Ichi. Who is manipulated by Jijii with false memories of his childhood.
As soon as Kakihara hears about Ichi, all he wants to do is find him. Maybe even more excited about the pain this man can give him than anything else.

The Trailer
This is probably one of the most brutal, but stylish movies you'll see in a long time. Let me first say to skip this if you can't handle blood, sadism or any of that stuff. It's definitely not for the lighthearted. But if you can handle a doses of gore that will last for a year, this is an unique, stylish and comical movie you should really check out.
Staying true to the manga strip, the story of this very wrong sadistic relationship is brought to you in a very Takashi Miike way. Combining his view of the yakuza world with a lot of style, humor and a cryptic story.
