"May contain a spoiler"
A lot of people like this film a lot, I have my reservations about it.The violence is part of the story because it's a Mafia film. However in some point in the film there was nothing more than violence in the film and the ending was so predicted you could see it come. The characters change very little and they weren't sympathetic enough to care about. Of-course there was the usual presenting of the difference between 2 societies which is typical to a movie which is directed by a director who comes from one background(in this case Japan) and the was filmed in another one(in this case USA)
There are 2 reasons why I didn't hate the film completely:- 1)The fact that LA was presented as a ghost town,which was a nice surprise. 2)It made me laugh in the most absurd situation. Without these 2 things I would give the film a complete 1 out of 10
