unlike the great hana-bi where kitano managed to keep his gun in his pants for a while and concentrated on the story instead, brother once again falls back to the mediocre violence often seen in his movies. the yakuza blasts away everything that moves. yeah, yeah. zzzzz...
the actors are quite bad, both japanese and american. omar epps is okay, and terajima as kato does a nice little role.
in short, it is just violence, blood and guts, there is no deeper meaning to it, it's not genius for pete's sake! c'mon people. steven seagal makes movies like this, it doesn't automatically make it great if it comes from japan!
