I don't get, why this movie is getting so much good ratings.. maybe because it's not an usual Takeshi Kitano film? Well, it was my first Kitano film, and I didn't enjoy it at all.

I liked the cinematography though and the score was great too.

Anyone familiar with the films of Beat Takeshi will know of his formula of crime drama punctuated by comic snapshots of "gangsters at play", but here he ditches the whole gangster element leaving a warm if slightly aimless character study cum road movie. There is little in the way of narrative or drama, the story instead concentrating on the relationship between the boy and Kitano's worst-role-model-ever of a father figure and their comic mishaps.
