Wild Criminal (2001)

Member Rating:

Takashi Miike mainstay Riki Takeuchi strikes out on his own in this violent crime drama penned by Freeway Speedway scribe Takeshi Saito. When yakuza heavy Udo disappears with a large stash of dirty money, the gang suspects that his lover, Tomoyo, must somehow be involved in the scheme. Meanwhile, in a nearby casino, high-stakes dealer Yuki catches the eyes of a pair of violent criminals who savagely beat and rape her before locking her in the trunk of a car. When Yuki overhears Udo as he guns down his fellow gangsters, her deadly secret soon makes her a target for the enraged yakuza. Thrown together by chance with the frightened Tomoyo, the pair must work together and combine their skills for manipulation and bloodshed if they have any hope of surviving the deadly grip of the syndicate. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Bound was obviously the inspiration behind this Japanese style thriller with more twists and turns than you can shake a stick act. Miho Nomoto and Aya Nakamura portray two women who are thrown together by fate and hatch a plan to not only get rich, but to get back at the people who made their lives miserable. The interesting thing is that they don't know who to trust, including each other and as their plan goes into motion, it sets off a chain of events that lead up to a nail-biting climax. Definitely one of Miike's greatest works!

Disappointing, especially from Miike. Skip this one, even if you like other Miike films. Sort of typical yazuka stuff, with a boring lesbo twist between two (as always - victimized women) - that just doesn't work (on many many levels). Can't think of any redeeming feature - oh, there was a nice ... no that was a different film....
