| User ReviewKevin RSous influence du film noir amà (C)ricain, dont il dà (C)tourne les codes par ailleurs, Dà (C)tective bureau 2-3 (prà (C)fà (C)rez le titre original : "Crevez, vermines !") est un film à (C)tonnant, pop et presque kitsch, ancrà (C) dans les annà (C)es 60, celles de la musique jazzy et de la libertà (C) de ton. Suzuki ne respecte rien ni personne, et s'en amuse en proposant un film sans temps morts, allant à l'essentiel, visuellement superbe et au scà (C)nario riche en rebondissements. Joe Shishido et son visage si particulier incarne magnifiquement un personnage "so cool", à mi-chemin entre James Bond (la classe en toute circonstance, le charme, l'humour flegmatique) et Philip Marlowe (la fin justifie les moyens, pas de scrupules, la violence dans le sang). Du bonheur. |
| User ReviewBrook KWhile Detective Bureau 2-3 is one of Seijun Suzuki's most straightforward films, lacking much of the cinematic flourishes and wild style he is famous for, I also found this to be one of the better scripts he had to work with. It's a very solid detective/yakuza film that packs a ton of action and plenty of humor, often centered on sour-faced star Joe Shishido. And for any fan of Suzuki/Shishido, Joe's fab song-and-dance scene is a must see. |
| User ReviewErik GThank you again Suzuki Seijun for being such an amazingly creative director and who else in the world would make a Yakuza movie with a stupendous dancing and singing number including Shishido Joe? You're the best! |
| User ReviewGreg Woff beat and kinda campy is this crime thriller/actioner |
| User ReviewMarco TUpdate: I am the first person on Flixter to review this film. Go see it now, a classic. This movie is a classic Yakuza film. It is a lot of fun. The action is good and is punctuated with humor. Think, "if Death Wish was funny." and there was not one, but two musical numbers. Both Kill Bill and Jackie Brown draw inspiration from this film. |
| User ReviewChristopher SAnother stylish crime drama from director Seijun Suzuki, complete with colorful characters, flashy cinematography and production design, a hip jazz score, and fast-paced action and violence. It may not be as visually stunning or psychologically complex as some of Suzuki's other work, but it's still great pulp entertainment. |
