Movie Review: City Of Lost Souls

A Brazilian man and a Chinese fall in love in Japan. Unfortunately, the woman is about to be deported, so they plan to get fake passports and stowaway in a ship going overseas. When that doesn't work, they decide to steal a suitcase of cash in a drug deal they are not involved in. They end up getting the wrong suitcase - the one full of coke. Now they have some big time gangsters on their tail, which is not surprising since the cocaine they stole is rare. Any chance they take at selling it leads gangsters on to their sent. I don't have to tell you that this is a violent gangster movie, with the twist that only Takashi Miike can bring. Also, here is a matrix cockfight and an intense ping-pong match to be seen, if that's your bag.

3 1/2
