BLUE FIGHT is a really fun delinquent action movie.
I've mentioned it previously, but I'll reiterate here: Takashi Miike is one of my personal favourite directors of all time. He's a man who helmed many, many classic and fantastic movies. Amongst them was the Crows Zero movies starring Shun Oguri from 2007 and 2009 respectively. When it was announced that Miike would be directing another action movie featuring delinquent leads, I was extremely excited. That movie would be BLUE FIGHT and would also feature GACKT, a man whom I'm a big fan of. The protagonists of the movie are two young delinquents. After getting sent to juvie, Ryoma meets the always fighting Ikuto and the two bond, becoming friends rather fast. Following a guest lecture from MMA fighter and Breaking Down host, Mikuru Asakura, the two decide to change the course of their lives. Aspiring to get on Breaking Down, they make plans to find a gym to train at, becoming skilled kickboxers. The problem with that? Once they're on the outside, all kinds of issue...
