Half a dozen pictures later, Kitano has carved out one of the most idiosyncratic careers in Japanese cinema, and it all springs from this edgy, explosive crime classic. Azuma is a cop who plays by his own rules: He batters suspects, beats confessions from criminals, and plants evidence. He's a vigilante force the department quietly supports as long as he gets results, but when a volatile drug case results in the death of a colleague, the hair-trigger cop goes rogue as he matches wits with an equally impulsive assassin. Kitano's big teddy bear eyes and soft features maintain a calm, almost bemused expression even in his most violent moments: a Zen "Dirty" Harry with a deadpan sense of humor. For a first-time director, Kitano displays astonishing cinematic control, creating a style of long takes and serene tranquility shattered by startling explosions of gunfire and abrupt blows. It's a violent world in which adolescents attack beggars and grade-school kids pelt bystanders with garbage and insults, but Kitano also shows a tender, caring side ultimately swallowed by the unleashed anger. Ironic, grim, and focused to a mesmerizing intensity, "Violent Cop" is one of the great Japanese crime films and a brilliant debut.

Like his first couple films Takeshi was still trying to figure out how to develop a story. The first part of the movie is just laying out his character as an abusive cop. There are definitely some memorable scenes of him beating people up. It’s not until the halfway mark however that an actual plot is revealed. The writing obviously could have used some work. Still I enjoyed the film and how Takeshi treated all the people around him. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The last 30-minutes saved this one. *by T***. on Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2019* It’s a slow moving story with lots of walking around, and no shortage of slapping, from a stone faced cop. There’s a great chase scene to break what was some tedious walking around but when it ramped up near the end it made the wait well worth it and the ending was a total surprise… for us anyway. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The picture quality and audio is pristine and wonderful. And *by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2016* Blu-Ray 5/5: Throw away that cruddy, $#!++Y Fox Lorber version (whatever it was called) because this is THE VERSION you want. The picture quality and audio is pristine and wonderful. And, yes, art cover sucks, BLAH BLAH BLAH!! WHO CARES!!?! Douche! This Blu Ray comes with a featurette and a booklet. It's in 1:85 widescreen and so forth.Movie 5/5: This a police drama dark comedy action movie that has humorous violence, stiff acting and a story or some sorts. I, as usual, enjoyed Takeshi Kitano screen presence and his comedic sociopathic attitude and some of the left-field elements of the film. Highly recommended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/23075778-violent-cop-dvd](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/23075778-violent-cop-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
