The Triple Cross...the thrilling caper one by Kinji Fukasaku

Living for...armed bank robbery, or greediness changed and made people


avaricious for money...with perfidy and violent attempts...



Kinji Fukasaku...whose most famous and critical ones are Battle Royale..


the ruthlessly gunnery survival games among junior high school


students...with brutal and insane teacher performed by Beat Takeshi Kitano...


and the series of The Battle Without the Honor and Humanity....


which were the masterpieces of Yakuza action movies same as


current ones Outrage...by Takeshi Kitano.



This movie featured some famous actors...or moviestars, to name a


few...Kenichi "Show-Ken" Hagiwara, Kazuya Kimura...who is the


son of legendary comedian Yasushi Yokoyama..., Yoshio Harada and...


Renji Ishibashi...who was featured by Kitano in Outrage...



Briefly and consequently...this movie is actually action one...with


violent scenes and car-chasing ones...that's really speedy, arrogant


and exciting...without insipidity. Fukasaku has always advantages


and abilities to shoot and edit the action ones...by nippy and stylish


ways.  Moreover, Interestingly this quoted some


vogue in 1992...especially Heavy Metal Music...with actual musicians


and some fancy muscle-car...Pontiac Transam...as the symbols of


young cultures in Japan...then.





Unfortunately, this one could not be blockbuster and led to deficit...


because of the bunch of budget for equipment...cars, houses, buildings


and...lots of tools that were whole broken, burnt and destructed...


Nevertheless, the movie was just awesome with tangible stories


and innervating battles among the characters...!!
