It's a gangster story, told well, with no punches pulled.
Tom Long, Detroit News

Kitano is clearly enjoying his powers as a master of the form, and the movie invites the viewer to share in his enjoyment.
Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader

It's like a version of "Cinema Paradiso" where all the murders were saved up by a censor and strung together for a bloodbath.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

True Kitano fans will find its title sadly ironic.
