Massive jump in quality over the last two! The action sequences are better and there's more of them, the friendship between the two girls feels deeper and more lived in. The story is tighter, the pacing is better - Even the cinematography has improved!

Ugly, low budget yakuza epic shot on location In Kabukicho, with jittery handheld camera work that rarely rests. It gives the whole thing an immediate, journalistic fly on the wall feel that heightens the grime and grit of the story and locale.

This was released direct to vhs as two films, but it's actually one long film split into two segments, with part one ending with our protagonist's quest for revenge only just picking up speed, where part two begins…
