San tai yon ekkusu jugatsu (Boiling Point, 1990)
"Cut your finger off."
"Why do I have to do it?"
"You shagged my girl."
"You told me to!"
"Don't do that even if I tell you to! Cut it off, now!"

Kitano is fully in control‚ allowing for long static shots and disturbing stillness throughout much of the film‚#punctuated by flashes of bloody violence and unpredictable bleakness. as an actor he remains offscreen until almost exactly the#half way point‚ but when he appears (grotesque‚ drunken‚ an abusive and dangerous bully and yet somehow compelling and very nearly likable)#he changes everything and alters the whole direction of the action. it's an incredible performance in a film full of them‚ and afascinating#character (moreso for the perverse double act he has with his friend‚ handler‚ possible love interest‚ whipping boy Nito)
