Street Mobster ( Gendai Yakuza ) : Hito Kiri Yota 1972
The tone of this film is set within the opening credits which role over various street fights, a gang rape and someone being punched in the face with a fist full of razor blades. Street Mobster is undoubtedly shocking - but not really much else. The film club seemed split in its opinion on this one - and I found myself seated in the not liking it camp. I found the plot weak and non of the characters appealed in anyway whatsoever. Im not saying that you have to necessarily have to like the characters to enjoy a film - but they should at least be on some level - interesting to watch which I felt non of them were. The fight scenes ( of which there were many ) were predominantly filmed in low lit alley ways with a single shaky camera. Intended to make the film gritty ? instead it just looked shitty !
So that would be a thumbs down from me ! Not really much else to say on this one.
