Reiji Kikukawa, who has a strong sense of justice, graduated from the police academy with the lowest score ever. He becomes a police constable, but is suddenly fired by the Police Chief due to "disciplinary" issues. In actuality, the firing is part of a carefully orchestrated plan. Reiji is ordered to become a "mole," an undercover cop. His target is Shuho Todoroki, the boss of the Sukiyakai gang. The group is the largest crime group in the Kanto area. Masaya Hiura, who works as a young boss of a Sukiyakai affiliated gang likes Reiji. While going through various hardships, Reiji works his way towards Shuho Todoroki.
It's been a while since a Takashi Miike (Audition) film was featured on this blog, but here he is again with one of his latest movies, The Mole Song. Though by now he's probably directed a couple of more films since this one hit theaters, the man is productive, I'll give him that. In The Mole Song we see his usual mix of insane violence, quirky humor, colorful characters and of course, the Yakuza. Agent Reiji is a hilarious guy and easy to like, and to see him try to become a part of a powerful Yakuza family is a blast. Some scenes really had me laughing, like when Reiji is about to lose his virginity for example. Simply hilarious. A highly amusing and wacky Yakuza film in true Miike fashion.
Genre: Action/Comedy
