Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Aleksandar Sarkic This was the first movie i have watched from legendary Japanese director Kinji Fukasaku, as a big lover of Takeshi Kitano and his yakuza movies, i wanted to discover older classic Japanese yakuza movies, i have first watched works of Seijun Suzuki, after that i started with Fukasaku's movies, Street Mobster is fantastic movie, it is very fast paced movie, full of brutal violence, killings, nudity, it must be very schocking at that time, but what i most loved about film is main actor Bunta Sugawara, he is so good in his role of the main street punk Okita, he must be tough guy in a real life, also i must admit this is very different movie from other yakuza movies i have seen because the main protagonist wants to be independent from other yakuza syndicates, he doesn't wanted to be rich, he only wanted to be free, tough, to fight other guys and gangs, to be himself.I am recommending this movie to anyone interested in older Japanese movies, crime fiction and yakuza topics my rate 7.5/10

youinreverse01 As can be expected from Japanese master Kinji Fukasaku, "Street Mobster" is a fast paced, stylistic and violent depiction of a low level Yakuza thug who punches to the beat of his own fist.Bunta Sugawara plays Okita, a small time hood recently released from prison. Upon his arrival to the outside world, he finds the underworld he left behind changed. A new crew runs his old stomping grounds, and he is lost and abandoned. After teaming up with some hoodlums, Okita sets his sights on bigger things, which all leads to his downward spiral in the Japanese underworld. Fukasaku directs this Yakuza flick with his usual visual tour de force. You can expect freeze frames, quick cuts, fast zooms, hand- held camera work, dutch angles, voice overs, a mixture of b&w and color cinematography, etc. The energy that the director supplies from behind the camera perfectly captures the momentum in which the lead characters react to their daily lives. There is a lot of action, with characters often breaking out into fights and chases at random. This kind of film needs to be taken with a grain of salt. The violence, like the melodrama and tacked on love interest, are over the top but enjoyable. So sit back and relax. This lean, mean, fast flying fist machine of a film will keep you entertained and enthralled throughout.

MartinHafer This movie is the life story of a punk named Isamu--with the bulk of it following his insane path following his release from prison. While the idea of a mobster being a sociopath is no surprise, Isamu is peculiar even among the yakuza. This is because he also has an insane need for excitement and is incredibly self-destructive and angry--so much so that you know he cannot continue his path for long. After all, taking on the yakuza (sort of like the Japanese mafia) nearly single-handedly is just plain nuts! Yet, this crazed punk assembles a very small gang and attempts to do just that! "Street Mobster" is one of the most violent and nihilistic Japanese films I have ever seen. Its violence is vicious, uncaring and filled with pure rage. And, as a portrait of a thug, it IS effective and realistic. But, with graphic rapes, stabbing after stabbing after stabbing, it makes you wonder who the audience would be for this blood-fest. Plus, after raping one woman, the lady then has a twisted love-hate relationship with him that is just plain unsavory. Not a movie I enjoyed and one I am loathe to recommend because it's so nasty, but it IS unflinching and pulls no punches.

Jasik Outlaw Killer or as it says in the film, Street Mobster, is a bloody violent look into a totally self-destructive renegade street punk that can't ever seem to back down from a fight, no matter how suicidal. Truly a hilarious, incredibly charismatic character. So funny.The film follows him as he talks about his youth, his incarceraton and picks up with him creating a new gang. Parts are a bit too melodramatic, especially at the end, but the characters are well-crafted and the action sequences are frenetic and fun.A unique view of yakuza and street punk life in Japan in the early '70s from crazy-guy Fukasaku, the man behind Tora! Tora! Tora! and the fantastic Battle Royale.
