This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

The Worst Film Ever

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Blistering performances.

Why Don't You Play in Hell? is an absolutely insane and over the top action comedy film. It's quite unique, and quite beautiful. It's essentially a love letter to cinema.The first 3/4 of this film is the setup for everything. There's a lot of good, cringey humor, some small segments of over the top violence and super stylish film making.Characters and their backgrounds are set up, their motives and dreams, it's all there. The way they're introduced is often humorous and stylistically weird, (for instance a gangster and his obsession for a young girl set up in a kitchen ankle deep in blood) and it's an absolute joy to watch everyone mixing together and interacting.The story is crazy and inventive, light-hearted and straight out brutal. For an R rated film, there really isn't a lot of violence or adult themes for most of this film. That is until you reach the last 20 minutes of this film which delivers everything you could ever want from a film like this. It erupts into a violent blood whirlwind, full of over the top kills, dramatic deaths, raw emotion and absolute insanity. It has an absolutely perfect ending for the film it is.The camera work is neat, the sound is well done, the direction is great, the story is insane and there's a lot of heart in this. And I think that's why I love it so much.This is a film I feel the director has done to throw in as many elements as possible, to direct all the things he never had the chance to direct, or may never have the chance to direct. It's a mix of gangster, kung-fu, samurai, romance, comedy, and it relishes all of these genres. And you can't help but have such a good time and feel a range of emotions when watching this.I'm glad I found this sitting off to the side at the store for a cheap price. It was totally worth it. I had a great time with this film and it flies by. If you love movies, all types of movies, I think you'll find a place for this film inside of you. It's one of a kind. It's like a super hyper violent version of Cinema Paradiso, fueled by cocaine and pumped with heart, emotion and steroids.Overall, this movie is great. It has awesome action, lovable/annoying characters, intense drama, and a huge love for film. 8/10 a great watch.

Nutty yakuza comedy from Sion Sono. It's overlong, particularly with an interminable set-up, but once we get to the big action set piece you'll find it well worth the wait. A group of amateur filmmakers calling themselves the F Bombers (led by Hiroki Hasegawa) has spent a decade looking for the opportunity to make a real movie. Fortunately (or unfortunately) for them, a yakuza gang is looking for someone to make a feature starring the boss's daughter (Jun Kunimura is the boss, Fumi Nikaido the daughter). Hasegawa proposes that they film the real-life gang war that is bound to happen with the rival gang (led by Shin'ichi Tsutsumi). Sono really could have shortened the film considerably had he realized the character played by Gen Hoshino, the love interest of Nikaido, was worthless and jettisoned him. Or, more obviously, he should have been combined with Hasegawa's character. As it is, Hoshino plays a shy, ineffectual character and he pretty much gets shoved to the background anytime the more lively Hasegawa is on screen. I can't imagine anyone caring about his burgeoning relationship with the drop-dead gorgeous Nikaido. None of this really matters once we get to the blood-soaked finale, which is about as fun as any movie I've seen in recent memory.

This was a movie made with great love for cinema. If you are a true lover of film you'll greatly enjoy this film. The film has many references, parodies and praise for other films you'll recognise which adds to the fun. The music is excellent, a lot of it original, some you'll recognise...If you liked Kill Bill, your sure to like this, where as Kill Bill was like a love letter to Japanese cinema and culture coming from Tarantino, this is one coming right out of Japan....The main appeal for this film is that it is lots of fun and you'll get the tone of the film very early on, which is the crazy off the wall humour which Japan specialises in. Its gloriously over the top, gory and funny and I was smiling the whole way through! Check it out!

I saw the film last night and it was not the first time I saw Shion Sono's film but it was really the first time that his movie made me laughing for several minutes and I felt very very excited about it when it ended.The movie's last 30 minutes is a must see! Yes,it is!!!Although the pacing of it's first half is a little slow,it just like a foreshadowing for the plot and the relationship between the characters. Jigoku de naze warui is a movie which put filmmaking, yakuza,blood,dream all such cool elements together and it saluted many directors such as Quentin Tarantino(The yakuza use swords instead of guns which reminds me of Kill Bill), John Woo(shooting at the same time falling the feather everywhere), Johnnie To( there is always an old funny guy wipes his sweat up when the situation became very emergency .)…….I found a thing that I'd love to see a movie which is about filmmaking itself and I don't know why,it just like I will always fall in love with sinister gang movies and cult movies.I also want to appreciate that Japan is really a great place to have cult films came out.The style of the movie twists several times and some strange scenes just hit the point which is morbid in some ways but hilarious at the same time.The ending is OK, but if it's not turn out a "Cut" it will be fine too.I mean the "director" running down the road scene is already the best, maybe we don't need a play within a play thing like that 'cause many films end like that way already.And for the fight at close quarters, the executions is perfect and spectacular!!! I also found a very very sweet song called BARKER LOMAX LOVER BOY,first heard it from Big Bad Wolves's trailer .here is the only link I can find http://www.songtaste.com/song/3367639/ Can anyone tell me who is the singer???tks!
