VIOLENT STREETS [Bôryoku gai] (AKA VIOLENT CITY) (Masters of Cinema) Special Edition Review ****-

Cert 15 | 96 mins | 1974

4 Star
Fewer Words, More Action.
From popular director Hideo Gosha (Goyokin, Hitokiri), he takes a diversion from his usual Samurai based films and turns to the mean streets of Tokyo, in this uncompromising dark and ruthless action classic. His vision is like something from the 1940’s, a strong hard quiet man (Humphrey DeForest Bogart, Casablanca, In a Lonely Place) who takes…more
