Title: Sick Kicks
Product review: Forget the plot and watch a mad genius work.Miike serves up plenty of cheap thrills for the jaded cineaste with this one. What could have been played as a typical adolescent male fantasy film is given a peculiar panache thanks to the sadistic imagination of its director. This is a film that is not propelled so much by a plot as it is by some ingenious shock set peices. No one does violence quite like Miike. There are quite a few "Well, I've never seen that before." moments. You will see some images in this film that would never be allowed in an American film of this type.And you have to love the gratuitous pervy sex scene which, again, does nothing to forward the plot but is so absurd and kinky that you can't help but smile.This is not a great film and it is certainly not Miike's best, however, if you are bored silly with genre films and are looking for a fix this might be the film for you.
