( Showing 1-11 of 11 Tomatometer Reviews, sorted z-a )   "Nothing short of a masterpiece -- and a challenging one." -- Max Messier, FILMCRITIC.COM   "Like every film which claims the mantle of Goriest-Yet-Made, Ichi the Killer will draw the curious into its flesh-frazzled visceral grip." -- Almar Haflidason, BBCI FILMS   "It's endlessly inventive, consistently intelligent and sickeningly savage." -- Ken Fox, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE   "Takashi Miike keeps pushing the envelope: Ichi the Killer" -- Mike Bracken, MIKE BRACKEN'S HORROR FILMS Soundtrack Books All Related Items   "Much of what we see is horrible but it’s also undeniably exceedingly clever." -- Jeremy Heilman, MOVIEMARTYR.COM   "Japan's premier stylist of sex and blood hits audiences with what may be his most demented film to date." -- Bryant Frazer, BRYANT FRAZER'S DEEP FOCUS   "With “Ichi the Killer”, Takashi Miike, Japan’s wildest filmmaker gives us a crime fighter carrying more emotional baggage than Batman..." -- Eric Campos, FILM THREAT Cream of the Crop ROTTEN 25%   "The unceasing sadism is so graphically excessive, the director just ends up exposing his own obsession." -- Elizabeth Weitzman, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS   "Only those most addicted to film violence in all its forms will find anything here to appreciate." -- Frank Scheck, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER   "Those who want to be jolted out of their gourd should drop everything and run to Ichi." -- V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST   "The direction occasionally rises to the level of marginal competence, but for most of the film it is hard to tell who is chasing who or why." -- Dave Kehr, NEW YORK TIMES
