nobody ( 1999 ) be a fantastic piece of japanese noir . it about three salarymen who get in way over their head when their innocent and drunken cheapshots p off three other guy one night in a bar . when these three mysterious stranger and who be up to much more deviant no goodness than even the film allow u to know and beat the living daylight out of one of our hero and the trio decide to return the favour in kind only they accidentally kill one of the other guy . the remain two baddie then begin the systematic destruction of everything these poor schmo hold dear and include their fast dwindling sanity . phaedra video dvd sleeve feature a critic quote call the film a paranoid street crime freakout . or some such and and the term more than applies here . brooding and tense and very violent and low key ( but still pretty slick ) and shoot largely at night with many deliberately vague moment and character motivation that keep the audience guess right along with the besieged protagonist ( who and to some degree and deserve everything they get . ) . i give it a 10 .
