Ichi the killer is such great film. The cast was really impressive, especially Tandanobu Asano (kakihara), he gave off this really creepy but also very likable vibe. The actors really made this film more entertaining. Me and B really loved the cast’s outfits, our favorite outfits were Kakihara’s and Karen’s! Overall the film was amazing all though it was a bit confusing near the end, but that kind of makes it more fun, it makes you try and guess the story and come up with conspiracies.
Description from IMDb: When a Yakuza boss named Anjo disappears with 300 million yen, his chief henchman, a sadomasochistic man named Kakihara, and the rest of his mob goons go looking for him. After capturing and torturing a rival Yakuza member looking for answers, they soon realize they have the wrong man and begin looking for the man named Jijii who tipped them off in the first place. Soon enough Kakihara and his men encounter Ichi, a psychotic, sexually-repressed young man with amazing martial arts abilities and blades that come out of his shoes. One by one Ichi takes out members of the Yakuza and all the while Kakihara intensifies his pursuit of Ichi and Ichi's controller Jijii. What will happen as the final showdown happens between the tortured and ultra-violent Ichi and the pain-craving Kakihara?
