Bit of a disappointment as movie switches from gang war to debt payments
Bloody Territories begins with the Sakura Association, which was a Yakuza gang, made up of various affiliates, disbanding. There’s an official ceremony where the head of the association makes the announcement, and the head members sign on. Things look like they’re going fine until Kojiro Onogi, the boss of the Onogi Clan refuses, and decides to go it alone.<br /><br />The opening credits and first few scenes then show what the film will focus upon. That’s the invasion of the Onogi Clan’s territory by rival gangs and the Onogi fighting to maintain it. Yoshi Kato as Kojiro Onogi is the clan head who decided to maintain the gang. He’s backed up by Seichi played by Tadao Nakamura and Yuji played Akira Kobayashi who are the two senior members. The film focuses upon how those two try to keep their gang alive against the encroachments of larger and more powerful groups.<br /><br />The problem with the film is that the pace is kind of slow. At the start there are a number of gang fights, stabbings, etc. and it seems like this will be the norm in the film. Unfortunately it becomes a rather mellow film. The main cause is that the plot shifts from the defense of the gang's territory to trying to get out of debt to preserve the crew.<br /><br />It also uses an old aesthetic with the Yakuza only wielding knives. There are no guns. The ending is traditional as well with one man going against impossible odds.<br /><br />If they’d just picked things up a bit this would be a much better film. As is it’s a big of a disappointment.<br />C
