Just watched Ichi the killer last night and...wow one of the most twisted movies I've ever seen. The premise is around the disaperence of a Mob boss, who after believing to have stolen 300 million yen, has put the gang into alot of trouble. One of the Main characters Kakihara, is looking for the missing leader. Kakihara is a disturbed individual who enjoys toturing people for arousal. On the other side of the conflict, a young hitman named Ichi, is programmed to kill believing the people he kills are "bullies" who picked on him when he was a young kid. He, after killing those people proceeds to masturbate and leave his trail on the corpses. When Kakihara figures out that the man who ran away with the money is dead, and knowing that he too is next on Ichi's list becomes disowned from the syndicate(a large group of gangs in shinjuku which basically runs everything) There is alot of twists and turns and the characters are fairly intresting, especially Kakihara and Ichi who are some of the most perverse characters I have seen in film. There's ALOT of odd violence in this film, dismemberment, tons of organs and guts and lots and lots of bizzare toture. If your not sensitive to violence or odd perverse behavior than I would recommend this movie.
