Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

omsfit Not bad, it was great for the time it was made in. The cinematography could have been better but overall, I was pleased with the film. The acting wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

sieigieutiuru This is the story of Takeshi Nanjo, the young boss of Nanjyo family in the meiji-era of Japan. At the time Japan was celebrating victory of Japan-Russia war, the boss of Nanjo family Tatsugoro was killed by a member of Takizawa family. When Tatsugoro's son Takeshi learns about his father's death, he quit naval officer position and headed to home to succeeds father's position and taking a revenge. After Takeshi succeeded father's revenge, he finds out the true enemy is a malicious yakuza boss of Izo family. The story of Waka Oyabun (aka Young Boss Takeshi) centers on a young boss Takeshi reading Nanjyo family, a chivalrous yakuza family, verse a malicious boss Izo reading Izo family. While this Yakuza movie is quite different and less violent than other typical Yakuza movies, Raizo Ichikawa's excellent play draws audience into the story and holds up tension until the movie's final scene. This is the first installment of eight Waka Oyabun series and Raizo Ichikawa's in one of the best acting.
