So the shape below is not a measured arc. It is this title's overall sentiment held flat across the runtime, with the widest uncertainty band we draw. People talked about this title; they did not talk about how it paces.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βUnhinged even for Takashi Miike, Ichi the Killer suggests a bloody and ejaculate-stained Rorschach inkblot, reveling in ultraviolence that can be interpreted to flatter any adventurous audience's sensibilities.β
Chuck Bowen, Slant Magazine Β· 88
βOne of Miike's most violent and sadistic movies, filled with squirting blood, throat-slashing, limb-hacking and other forms of mutilation too gruesome to describe here.β
V.A. Musetto, New York Post Β· 75
βUnderneath the spillage and flow of this gonzo activity, Miike layers a blood-stained commentary on a toxic world in which men offer protection to men but really end up dooming them to exist within a spasmodic, shambolic, and hypermasculine sphere of violence.β
Tanner Tafelski, Village Voice Β· 70
βTakashi knows how to make a great, sleazy Yakuza film, but what I’m missing here is that sense of something brand new.β
Eric Campos, Film Threat Β· 60
βTakashi Miike's frenetic comic yakuza thriller embodies the best and worst this notorious Japanese genre auteur has to offer: It's endlessly inventive, consistently intelligent and sickeningly savage.β

βIchi the killer is one of those wonderful ultra violent movies that feels like you're on a trip of insanity. It is so fun and entertaining you cannot look away.This movie is the definition of body horror because it's so gruesome in a spectacular way that I can only imagine you watching it if you have some kind of enjoyment of it because if not you're gonna want screaming **** the main character is so awful and despicable then you begin wounding for the villain who's a masochist because he's the β

βIchi is a big disappointment. Not as violent or disturbing as what people say, the CGI is abysmal, the acting is okay at best, the comedy is average and the movie is boring as hell. At least the gore effects were good.β

βVery cool movie. Love the setting and the plot, where we get a look into the japanse yakuza, and follow a yakuza henchman as he's searching for his boss. The gore maybe a little dated, but i love how bizzare and mysterious this movie is. The main character, Kakihara, is one of the greatest characters i've ever seen. 8/10β

β" Ichi The Killer" is a real pulp made ββin Japan , which took , however, the element of violence and has an extreme beyond belief . The film , in fact, not only shows **** and gruesome scenes of sadism , but also of extreme masochism. These scenes are a real film heritage , both for their originality in the field of horror , but especially for the skill with which they are filmed. Excellent editing, deliberately confusing and perfectly collimated to fresh and grotesque screenplay , and directeβ
