A juvenile delinquent gets out of the pen and causes reckless mayhem, mostly directed at the girlfriend of the journalist who helped send him up.
The Warped Ones feels like it could have been directed by Shinya Tsukamoto (Tetsuo: The Iron Man) if he would have been active in the 60's. The hyperactive and frantic camera style perfectly imitates the morally despicable protagonists of the film. Director Koreyoshi Kurahara spotlights the so-called Sun Tribe subcultures that emerged in the early post-war decades, which gave rise to a reckless generation of youths who lived carefree lives and survived on jazz, beach life and mayhem. Someone said of the film, that even though it feels like a wild, violent and spontaneous ride it still must have needed a huge amount of preparation beforehand, making it much more complex than you'd first would have thought.
Genre: Crime/Drama
