Review of Minbo

Another one of Itami's films that I felt was a little long, and had a hard time deciding if it was a comedy or drama.

Having said that however, this movie is pretty good in that it shows an interesting look at the Yakuza, and it does have some very funny scenes. Also some of the dramatics are top notch as the actors cower in fear from the Japanese mobsters (particularly when one is being threatened to have his balls.... well you know...)

Interesting.. I suppose..
