Leeches on society

Yakuza Apocalypse (2015)

Directed by Takashi Miike this film stars Hayato Ichihara, Yayan Ruhian, Riko Narumi and Lily Franky. A small town yakuza that looks up to his boss who protects the town finds out his boss is a vampire.

Including the usual bizarre Takashi Miike touches this film is fairly out there but starts with a decent idea, yakuza being blood suckers that live on the blood of civilians. Unfortunately the plot never takes the metaphor anywhere interesting and while the action sequences are entertaining they are not overly impressive. While I enjoyed this film there is little about it that will likely stay with me.


3/5
