ICHI THE KILLER Arrives on Blu-ray March 20

“If gory and unapologetic films are your thing, Ichi the Killer is for you.”
~ Yazz Martinex, D MAGAZINE

“Miike shoots Ichi like a comic — bold, harsh camera angles and shots with distorted depth-of-field — the approach rendered all the more energetic thanks to the heap of extravagant violence”
~ Tanner Tafelski, THE VILLAGE VOICE
