Nao Omori reprises his role for the action-packed prequel to Takashi Miike's Ichi the Killer. A voyeur with a lust for bloodshed, Ichi feeds on the mayhem caused by his friend and fellow high school student Dai (Teah). But when Dai falls victim to the sadistic Onizame (Koji Chihara), Ichi must convert his inner rage into a flurry of fists in order to defeat the evil bully. Though less explicitly graphic, Masato Tanno's film is a thrilling set-up to Miike's brutally intense vision of yakuza violence. In Japanese with English subtitles.
