Takashi has been considered a master auteur. Perhaps, but there's no art here, just violence.

Oh, brother.

If the yardstick for mob flicks is 'Goodfellas' (and it should be), then 'Brother' doesn't stand a chance. On its own, however, it is a stylish, colourful film.

A powerful statement on a violent society -- and a very uncomfortable one that is apt to alienate many viewers.

The film explores in multi-layered depths how violence begets violence and how this cycle, once started, is nearly impossible to break.

Sure to satisfy fans of the laconic auteur.

A vital, stylish Yakuza pic, Kitano crafts a new world/old world, brother against brother epic battle straddling both sides of the Pacific.

Kitano's most enjoyable, flat-out fun movie, provided you can stomach the violence.

Kitano presents all this mayhem in crisp and cool camera work that distances it and keeps it from becoming oppressive.

Intriguing though uneven.

Just how many acts of self-inflicted finger amputations do I really want to see?

As an actor and writer-director, Mr. Kitano projects an amused irony that makes his films worth seeing.
