Review of Posutoman burûsu

This movie took me for surprise I was expecting a straight comedy but I was wrong. It's a great multi-genre movie with substance. This film is about a malcontent postman named Sawaki(Shinichi Tsutsumi) who runs into a high school friend while delivering mail to his apartment. His friend Noguchi(Keisuke Horibe) a newbie yakuza who is motivated by excitement and euphoria, "does your heart race like it did when you were a child ?" he says. Which makes Sawaki reassess his life and job. When leaving the apartment he is spotted by two cops on a stake out, who then begin speculation that Sawaki is a drug runner. And the story takes off from there. I would to state how much I loved this movie and it had the best bike sequences I've seen. Also starring Ren Osugi as Joe The Hitman and Susumu Terajima as one of the cops(Anyone notice that these two are token actors for Sabu, Takeshi Kitano and Miike Takeshi). This one of the most exciting films I've seen and has a great climax. Sabu(Hiroyuki Tanaka) is a great director. Too bad this has very little release worldwide. This movie is original and funny as hell, the audience laughed the whole way. WATCH IT
