Josh Lewis’s review published on Letterboxd:
Takes what might’ve otherwise been a typical Japanese crime movie about henchmen realizing the pointless, chaotic brutality they wage on each over the mechanized power of their bosses (and choosing to become lone Ronin's instead) and turns into a candy-colored Yakuza noir/western/Bond/new wave pop explosion. Love that the studio kept giving this man smaller budgets as a message to chill the fuck out with the visual surrealism and musicality and this borderline avant-garde insanity of modernist art direction and feverish editing is what he came up with lol. Lost my shit when the titular Tokyo Drifter started singing his own theme song diegetically on his way to kill some mobsters.
