A barkeeper saves a Yakuza boss' life and thus makes his way up in the organization. However his fear of nothing soon causes problems.
A sociopathic killer rapist is on the rampage and leaves piles of bodys in his wake? Yep, this is a Takashi Miike film, alright. Basically an out of control yakuza crime fest, and if you consider yourself a fan of Japanese ultra-violence, this is your cup of blood. It's a remake of Kinji Fukasaku's film from 1975 of the same name, based on the real life gangster Rikio Ishikawa, and even though Miike's film is a bit more cleaned up and controlled, it's still a brutal yakuza crime spree. Here we find some of the most realistic shootout scenes ever put to film, and it stops feeling like a movie and more of a situation where someone with a camera got caught in a chaotic firefight.
Even if one should be well-versed in action flicks, Graveyard of Honor still contains a lot of violence which can be tough to stomach, with an abundance of abuse toward women.
Genre: Action/Crime/Thriller
