My friend requested that we watch something "twisted". I simply put Ichi the Killer in and let her regret that particular request and letting me choose to begin with.

Ah, yes. The slow, soft dripping of ejaculate falling off the petal of a house plant. How poetic.
A few redeeming manga-isms aside, this is just unintelligible shock porn drivel. Took me three tries now since high school to make it all the way through. Least favorite Takashi Miike by several miles.
