Tokyo Drifter (1966)

Reviewed 13 Jul 2025

The spine-twisting conditions the studio forced on the director resulted in an electrifying work that stops for nothing and no-one, aside from a Looney Tunes-esque sailor bar fight that's a brief vacation from plot and sense. Some real nice blocking and lighting, and simple but strong characters. Another “dudes rock, brotherhood is real, women aren't real” film.
