This movie should not in anyway be compared to anything like Coppolas The Godfather.

Its nothing like it whatsoever.

So don't let the name fool you.

I am not going to critique the movie or discuss the directors or the actors in anyway.

I will leave it up to you to decide for yourself what you think of it.

Obviously this review is written in 2023 so its been 40 years since this was made.

For people who arent familiar with Japanese or Asian cinema or people who arent familiar with the genre this is a great introduction or a great watch for those who are getting into it.

The film is well shot. Well directed and fantastically acted. The lighting, camera angels and set design are all well orchestrated .

The movie will trigger emotions, and keep you entertained.

If you are reading this review because you are considering watching this movie.

Then watch it! You wont be dissapointed!
