The Yakuza - At 'Dem Flicks with Malcolm

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Synopsis:

Robert Mitchum and Japanese Robert Mitchem (Takakura Ken) beat the everloving fuck out of Pacific Rim mobsters while being directed by Sydney Pollack.

Review:

Better than you'd think an action film staring an aging Mitchum would be. All kinds of undertones about family, loyalty, honour, and other fairy tales, with a very Oriental slant.

Verdict:

Worth looking at, even if you're only a generic action fan. Rarely do such films get legit guys in the director's chair.
