Brother
Directed By: Takeshi Kitano
A vital, stylish Yakuza pic, Kitano crafts a new world/old world, brother against brother epic battle straddling both sides of the Pacific. Some excellent action sequences and strong performances lead to a truly interesting retake on the genre.
Mafia vs. Yakuza warmly reminded of Simpsons episode without detracting from the power of the film.
