    Better than expected

    Truly an enjoyable film. Engrossing story. Good acting from the leads. Some of the supporting roles were weak. Production overall quality was good. Great effort on all levels. Definitely for those of us who like these types of stories. Worth your time.

    Yakuza Yawn

    Yakuza's plot had potential, even though Rhys Meyer's character was random. But it didn't capitalize on anything - the fighting is meh, the acting is meh, and it's not that fun to watch.

    Yakuza's entertainment

    I've watched several Japanese Yakuza movies and I love all the mysticism and the legends. This movie its quite decent. Far from the best but not bad.

    First, If you're a fan of Takeshi Kitano films, this one is for you.

    Second, the movie is not a masterpiece like Outrage from Kitano, but it's a pretty cool action film without a cheesy script. Good fighting choreographies and action scenes.

    Last, it's mostly unpredictable and a blood bath.

    So, definitely If you appreciate this kind of movies , go for it.

    The worst part is the speed

    The basic plot is a good one, unfortunately the speed of the movie is painfully slow. The acting is acceptable and the action scenes are not well choreographed, but if they make a sequel, which is definitely their intention, I'll watch it. Just don't expect anything great.

    Not worth watching.

    Complete waste of time. Just different scenes put together to make a film.
