Staring Vinnie Jones and Ichi the Killer star, Tadanobu Asano (who I swear has been in every single Japanese film recently).
The film follows five plots: one follows a man who is stuck hypnotized
and his family, one follows a man who keeps killing his wife but she keeps
coming back to life, one follows an ad exec who has the weirdest sense of humour and another
follows a group of youths who burgle random houses for fun. Lastly, by far the best plot follows
Vinnie Jones as the imported hitman, whose catch phrase I guarentee you will not forget, who provides
the dominant theme linking all the plots together.
Thrillingly original, colourful, well shot and hillarious. Although it doesn't make much sense, the film is so fun and stylish that it doesn't really matter. This may not be for everyone, but I whole-heartedly suggest you give it a try!
