Dead or Alive (1999). This one is probably one of my favorites from Miike, though i probably said that about all of them. The frenzied beginning is about as adrenalin pumping as anything i have ever scene. The story then settles down into the perfect Miike Yakuza flick, with incongruent and disturbing scenes that would nonplus the most stalwart of individuals, but that our characters instead accept as standard fare. The scenes are all wonderfully crafted, and the story is driven forward brilliantly. The ending is one that only Miike could get away with, and it somehow worked beautifully.

Yeah, that was a great flick, revealing that which hides behind the facade of the uniform is likely no different than you or i. Ashe.
