Micro Review: Violent Cop (1989)

Micro Review Disclaimer:
There will be times (frequently) when I’ll be unable to muster up the energy to take on the impossible task of using any significant amount of language to convey my ideas about something. This is one of those times. Please enjoy this micro review (people of the Twitter mindset can ignore the previous disclaimer as they will not notice anything out of the ordinary in what follows).



Violent Cop is the feature directorial debut of “Beat” Takeshi Kitano*, a man who does a ton of stuff, but of whose work I’ve only seen one other film. The film’s title also serves as a synopsis and as its own nano-review - imagine Dirty Harry only more violent, not as engaging, but more visually striking. Conclusion: It’s not a bad way to spend an hour and forty minutes, and we should all probably watch a few Takeshi Kitano movies.





*in this case the name in quotation marks is not an hilarious fake nickname, but a non-hilarious actual stage name.
