i will be start this review by say that this be an excellent movie . miike and the auteur of the 21st century and be produce film at such an alarm rate that it almost impossible to keep up with the man . yet he manage to keep produce film of an extremely high standard and create different and interesting technique . izo be another fine example of this . the broken structure be far more complex than nolan memento and far more effective a it allow you to experience the agony that izo be constantly feel . the constant metaphor that keep pop up throughout the non stop carnage bring more layer to the film than any hock movie yet miike still manage to throw in a few gallon of blood and a very interesting place to hide a sword ( lady ) for good measure . so in summary a very poignant anti war piece with some fine visual style and some very brutal action . and a great guitarist . go see . and take the whole family . cinema at it best .
