What to Know

Critics Consensus

Yakuza Apocalypse lives up to the oddball promise of its title with a cinematic whirlwind that represents director Takashi Miike at his most delightfully unhinged.

Slow down, Takashi. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 12/31/2015
3/5
It is extremely mad, long and often tiresome. Yet it is acted with eerie and absolute conviction, and has an interestingly surreal quality; Miike has a claim to be one of cinema's genuine surrealists. Go to Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com 10/09/2015
3/4
A very good film, but only if you're willing to inevitably submit to its anarchic sensibility. Go to Full Review Katie Smith-Wong Flick Feast 11/18/2019
2/5
In short, Yakuza Apocalypse is too bizarre and too much of a mess to deem watchable. Simply disappointing. Go to Full Review Andrew Todd Birth.Movies.Death. 09/01/2019
Yakuza Apocalypse's third act goes into full-blown action territory, replete with hand-to-hand combat, bodily fluids, and surreal supernatural business Go to Full Review Nick Evan-Cook One Room With A View 04/18/2019
3/5

Alexander G @RT57038126 07/29/2024 Anyone who ranks this less than 5 stars is wrong and doesn't know peak fiction See more ashley s @Aly13G 06/02/2021 This movie is a waste of time and talent. It can't even decide whether it will be horror, action, fantasy, or comedy. It's like a compilation of everything but a master of none. See more 02/13/2019 A bizarre mix of manga, martial arts, vampires and folklore. When the main bad guy is a person in a frog mascot suit, you know you're in for some weird shit... See more 11/15/2017 Extremely non-sense, but well-made nonetheless. See more 02/12/2017 starts off well but fades badly. a mobster becomes a vampire and has to face an old enemy See more 01/18/2017 Complete and utter carnage and absolutely mental. So, so bizarre. Yakuza Vampires, Kung Fu frogs and sadistic Goblins. See more Read all reviews
