5 out of 5 stars a very very dark yet very very fascinating crime noir.......2007-05-08

i couldn't appreciate 'ichi, the killer', but i absolutely enjoy watching this trilogy. i don't mean the regular and the traditional interpretation of 'enjoy', because the whole trilogy is not quite enjoyable stories, but it shot so realistically believable like watching a documentary film. this is what i call a great movie, look so real like a documentary. this is a very very dark movie, exposed the other side of tokyo, like watching a movie showing you where the cockroaches hide in the dark corner of a big city. get it wherever you could lay a hand on.

5 out of 5 stars miike's more straight forward work.......2005-01-29

The first film in this collection does follow in the vein of dead or alive and ichi the killer in its subversive, twisting craziness. However, rainy dog, is much more conventional character study, and far less extreme than the majority of Miike's work. This film is beautiful and leisurely paced, using the literary device of pathetic falicy, where the external rain of the environment parallels the emotional states of its central characters. Ley lines is harder hitting with its look at racial bigotry, through its use of sex and violence. All three films are of his best caliber work and solidify the character's feelings of alienation by their own systems (governmental,yakuza/organized crime,family,racial circles).
