I do follow Takashi Miiki on a regular base. Most of his flicks I do like, for example Audition (1999) I liked a lot, as did Ichi The Killer (2001). Both contained gore and horror and suspense. The one I liked most was his entry in the Masters Of Horror franchise with Imprint (2006). But now and then he makes flicks that aren't gory and do have a strange feeling with weird humor. Yatterman (2009) was a perfect example but this here is also a warning that he was changing towards weird flicks.
Although the script looked great it wasn't really my thing. It do has a flashy opening and do has a few nasty scene's that you won't forget like the dog being masturbated until it got a hard-on to penetrate a naked girl. Bestiality galore. But it also contains things that made me go say, WTF.
The acting was okay and the fight scene's did look okay. The red stuff is available and the nudity is in tact and still it didn't really got my attention. It gave me the same feeling I had with Yatterman. Luckily he (Miiki) showed me he still can deliver it, 13 Assassins (2010) was a masterpiece but Dead Or Alive, not for me.
