SABU: This evocative action/drama film from director Takashi Miike (FULL METAL YAKUZA) follows the life of Eiji (Tatsuya Fujiwara), an inmate of Ishikawa Island prison camp. Having been incarcerated for a crime he didn`t commit, Eiji relies on his faithful friend in the outside world, Sabu (Satoshi Tsumabuki), to prove his innocence. Fans of Miike`s inimitable style will find much to love here, with the director pulling off some spectacular set pieces, alongside some moving performances from his leads. Based on a popular Japanese novel by Shugoro Yamamoto, SABU is an absorbing tale, executed with panache and flair by the cast and crew.FULL METAL YAKUZA: This action-packed film carries on with Takashi Miike`s smart, violent gangster sagas. Tsuyoshi Ujiki plays a yakuza gangster, murdered in a gang execution, who finds himself rebuilt, ala ROBOCOP, by an insane scientist. Once fully in control of his new powers, he goes on a hunt for those responsible for his death, and seeks revenge at any cost!
