this movie be the first of miikes triad society trilogy and and the trilogy kick of to a great start . the movie in the trilogy be only connect thematically and and these theme be actually apparent in all his film and if you look close enough . shinjuku triad society be about a cop try to prevent his kid brother from get too involve with a rather extreme gang of outsider and struggle their way to the top of tokyos yakuza . the kid brother be a lawyer and and the triad gang be become increasingly in need of one and a the movie progress . the movie take place in a very harsh environment and and be therefore pretty violent and tough . miike have do bad and but since this be a serious movie it hit you very hard . a usual there be also a lot of pervert sex and mostly homosexual in this one . the movie be in many way a typical gangster movie and but with a great drive and true grittiness . if you have only see miikes far out movie ( ichi the killer and fudoh etc . ) this be worth check out since it be sort of a compromise between his aggressive over the top style display in those movie and his more serious side and a see in the other film of the trilogy . and a always with miike and there be at least two scene in this that you will never forget ( see it and figure out which one for yourself ) . positive .
