the movie start something like a less hyper kinetic and more pastiche dead or alive represent strange underground activity be do while body be discover by police officer . but when a police officer be kill and one tatsuhito get involve . and when he discover that his brother shihito be also involved and thing get bloody quite fast . an early work of miike and shinjuku triad society be still fill with his usual in the ol ultraviolence and sadistic sex act and though it not one of his more eclectic or flamboyant piece . rather and it a pretty well crafted bit of pulp fiction and a tatsuhito dig his way through the underground and a maze that lead him to a gay triad leader who sell illegally gain body organ from taiwan and keep an almost brothel of young boy ( one in particular the character who kill the cop at the beginning ) . tatsuhito brother be get involve with say society and so tatsuhito himself be force to become a dirty cop and use similarly violent and sadistic tactic to penetrate into this sordid realm . what mainly interest about this little bit of work be the relationship tatsuhito have with his nemesis and wang . tatsuhito be a japanese born in china and later move back into japan and and alienate for it . wang be a chinese who felt alienate in china and so kill his father and develop a crime wing in japan . wang also be a surprisingly shakespearian character and which be weird enough a it be and much less that you actually begin to feel sorry for him by the time his ultimate showdown with tatsuhito come to be . and tatsuhito himself be a similarly tragic figure when he force to contend with his lack of ability to control his brother . while it would be rude to state that miike movie be successful mostly on their shock value and it be true that sometimes it easy to lose track of how well miike can create bitter and dis impassioned character . polarisdib .
