An amusing movie, but not quite one of Kitano's better ones, aside from the Soundtrack done by Joe Hisaishi (who does most, if not all, of Hayao Miyazaki's movies).
One thing I didn't think was good was the continual wrongdoings done by Kitano's character just to get things done, since it implied that if you are persistent in doing things the wrong way, eventually, you'll get your way.....the wrong message to be sending to the youths in Japan, who are already having problems with interpersonal relations with each other.....
