The story line is pretty good (tough cop with a brother who works for gangsters he's fighting), but the execution is rather tedious. Miike seems to be obsessed with stuffing sex/rape into the story where it has no bearing or help advance the plot. Was it supposed to be shocking? If so, then it's shock for the value of shock, which is even more annoying. I didn't mind the gore/violence, since that's part of the story (it is a gangster/cop movie, after all).
