David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter Sep 21, 2026
While devout Miike-heads might feel sated by the one or two amped-up set pieces and the characteristic strain of dark humor, this is by far the weakest of the three Bad Lieutenants. Go to Full Review Mark Hanson Slant Magazine Sep 19, 2026
2.5/4
Despite the film’s gleeful show of grottiness in its early going, fans of Ichi the Killer may be disappointed. Go to Full Review Robert Daniels Screen International Sep 19, 2026

3/5

3/5
Like a spicy meatball that doesn’t go down easily but is worth the bite. Go to Full Review Trace Sauveur Awards Watch Sep 22, 2026
The strength of Miike’s filmmaking keeps this superficially absorbing scene to scene, but it’s otherwise a surprisingly frivolous take on the subject matter for a filmmaker whose work has historically rattled audiences. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
