Can a movie be extremely violent and extremely tiresome at the same time? Yes, it can, "The World of Kanako" maybe is the best prove. Except buckets of artificial blood, I found there nothing.

Except buckets of artificial blood, I found there nothing. Seriously, I'm not a goody-goody and can fully enjoy the violence on the screen, Takeshi Kitano is one of my favorite filmmakers by the way! I enjoy the violence in movies... but there must be something besides it - whatever it may be - a plot, a humor, relations, clashes of characters, art, drama, events, nature, imagination, intrigue, contemplation, beauty, feelings, suspense and so on. Yet here... there is nothing but an endless yelling, beating, killing, stabbing, crashing, crushing, slapping, wounding, bullying, humiliating, mutilating, beating again, smashing, torturing, shooting, kicking, cutting and so forth... And all this without even a single interesting dialogue! It's not even dramatic because there is no character we can feel the smallest compassion for. The story line always skips to and fro in time, the film editing is disgusting, most scenes are poorly staged and poorly shot, just something is flickering in the half-dark, something violent, of course, what else!...

Seriously, there are a lot of better movies worth to spend your time on! Or just watch crime news reports, in case you are SO BENT ON BLOOD AND VIOLENCE!… Expand
