JayJul 15, 2020I have very little idea what happened but it was pretty gross. 4 stars.
Josh LewisJan 24, 2015My friend requested that we watch something "twisted". I simply put Ichi the Killer in and let her regret that particular request and letting me choose to begin with.

Awesome movie super weird!
EliseAnna likedIchi the KillerI’m not sure if I liked this movie. The storyline and meaning behind the movie is very powerful. But, there was no need for so much violence towards women in this movie when they all had nothing to do with the actual plot line. !!Definitely a big trigger warning for this movie!!
Wagner Freitas is "meh" onIchi the KillerFirst things first, it is definitely one that looses itself in the twisted pleasures of the human flesh that it’s desperately and repeatedly trying to present to us, one that sadly despite having incredible gore elements ignores every physical law known to man disconnecting us!

TW: rape entertaining when it comes to the plot, kept me interested. it was a little slow but still done well. the ending confused me a little bit, need to rewatch. wish i watched it sooner, some great concepts when it comes to onscreen killing and gore.
Damien is "meh" onIchi the KillerApparently everyone loves this but I hated it. Man do they hate women. So much violence and rape or talking about it. No one to root for at all. Some twisted stuff and bad cgi and a complicated plot. Not for me. But maybe for you.
CvptvinHowdy likedIchi the KillerI appreciate the "Hellraiser" type of gore. As soon as I saw the CGI, dead giveaway, it's early 2000s. The ending was kind of confusing, but pretty damn good for a serial killer thriller with some more violence than you'd expect.
- Landon Kenner likedIchi the Killer
While it’s a pretty gruesome and sadistic movie, I quite enjoyed the story unfolding. Was a little confused for the first half hour because of all the characters and groups to follow, but it came together well. 7.1/10
Atticus likedIchi the KillerI loooooved the scenes with kakihara and the rest of the gang members but hated pretty much anything with Ichi, the cgi is a little dated but outside of that it’s still a pretty nice watch
Mickerdoo likedIchi the KillerInterestingly filmed. Certainly unlike anything I’ve seen. Definitely covered my eyes through some gore and assault, though. Ultraviolence.

Metacritic
Unhinged even for Takashi Miike, Ichi the Killer suggests a bloody and ejaculate-stained Rorschach inkblot, reveling in ultraviolence that can be interpreted to flatter any adventurous audience's sensibilities.

Takashi knows how to make a great, sleazy Yakuza film, but what I#146;m missing here is that sense of something brand new.
