5.0 out of 5 stars Superlative, 29 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Second film by Takeshi Kitano. Not for everybody, but this is one of my favourites, next to "violent Cop". This is a surreal tragi-comic film, in a way that I've never experienced before. The characters seem resigned to the fact that they're done for - but this is also an absolutely hillarious film. If you don't get this type of humour then you'll miss out on a big element of what Kitano's about. Maybe its a select humour though, quite dark. And check out the bizzare ending!!? His best film after "Violent Cop".

4.0 out of 5 stars CLOSER TO REAL CINEMA THAN 99.9% OF ALL FILMS, 7 Aug 2000
By A Customer
This film may not be as accessible to watch as some of kitano's others, but it is still more inventive, profound and humorous than most and is more rewarding with subsequent viewings. By no means is it Kitano's personal best but it does come close and for me, that is enough.

Watch out for the lollypop scene, that's what friends are for.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pails in comparison to previous Kitano films, 11 Jul 2000
I have to say boiling point was a bit of a dissapointment for me. The story seems week, with a brief change of scenery in Okinawa a welcome break from the winding tail about a young mans life and his encounters with Yakuza. If you like yakuza films, i suggest you check out Violent Cop or Sonatine first. For diehard Kitano fans only.
