Violent Cop (1989) is a film about a shady and brutal Japanese Inspector who's always at odds with his bosses and colleagues. One day he's assigned a new idealistic partner. Takeshi Kitano is the Violent Cop and he's very credible as the hard as nails s.o.b. He makes Dirty Harry look like a wuss. Kitano's mean as a snake and does whatever he can to get either a confession or information from an unwilling suspect. Not only does Kitano have a new partner to watch out for but he has to take care of his batty sister. Great film. If you like cop movies, then you'll love this one. Look for the uncut international version, I highly doubt it you'll want to see this one cut. I like this picture, it keeps it's promise and delivers the goods.
Highly recommended for the nihilism and ultra violence.
