| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzI'd rather be eating sushi than watching such an undercooked flick. |

| User ReviewRoman LProbably one of the finest Japanese yakuza drama movies. |
| User ReviewChristopher JWhen I saw this, I only knew of Fukasaku's Battle Royale. This opened a whole MANSION to me, showing that Kinji had brought us so much with his films. This is a great little piece, that flows and grooves great. It has a great sense of plot, exposition, character, and action. Entertaining, fascinating, emotional, somber, magnificent stuff. The final showdown is also a great "Wild Bunch - Fukasaku-style" type ending. |
| User ReviewAaron WYet another brilliant Fukasaku yakuza movie. From what I've seen so far, you really can't go wrong with a Fukasaku movie. He's quickly risen to the top of my favorite directors list and this is just as top notch as everything else he's done. |
| User ReviewPrivate UA must see for any Yakuza cinema fan! Kinji Fuksaku certainly knows to shoving action down your throat! Outside his crime series THE YAKUZA PAPERS, SYMPATHY FIR THE UNDERDOG ranks up there as one of his best. Incredible performance from Tsurunta Koji. Pure rawness and total action! |
| User ReviewEthan LI saw this on IFC. It was like a brotherhood mafia movie kind of thing. I thought it was excellent. |
| User ReviewChad RDefinitely one of the older great gangster movies that I personally think ever existed! |
