The High Rollers (2003) (Korean)
Arguably one of the best Korean motion pictures based on cartoons, is a film about gamblers. The film boldly anatomises and exposes the underworld of gamblers which seems to epitomise our greedy capitalist society. And it is well-timed, given a corruption scandal involving pachinko parlours that has given a big blow to Korea’s already beleaguered ruling party.
As a movie partly comic and partly brutal which deals with working class characters living on the dark side, it outdoes Guy Ritchie’s ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’. The actors, main and supporting alike, are superb. In particular, Stunning Kim Hye Soo exquisitely plays a Dashiell Hammettish femme fatale who “contrives and organises” fraud gamble matches as well as lures easy preys.
Director-cum-scripter Choi Dong Hun weaves together all these characters and their stories in a seemingly effortless manner, showing his brilliance.

Jusei - Last Drop of Blood (Japanese) 2003
From DVDAsian: Hailed by critics as the new wave of Japanese film noir! Last Drop of Blood is the new yakuza gangster movie by Yasushi Akimoto. A thrilling tale of Japanese gang wars with balletic gunfights. This is the kind of movie John Woo would be making if he were still working in Hong Kong. The Gun Index in the Special Features is particularly cool. It gives a detailed technical description of all the guns used in the movie. After seeing the description, one can directly view the scene in which that particular gun is used. After serving a jail sentence, a former leading yakuza (Takaaki Ishibashi) has gone straight. He has married and is now holding a regular job. However, he is continually harrassed by a police inspector who cannot forgive his past. Meanwhile a major gang war erupts. With his former gang in danger of being exterminated, will his loyalties draw him back in?

Yakuza Papers Collection (Japanese) 1973-1974
In the wake of the Bomb, ex-soldier Shozo Hirono [Bunta Sugawara] joins a Hiroshima yakuza gang, the Japanese equivalent of the Mafia and then the shootings, slashings, betrayals, and scheming begin. Premiering a year after The Godfather, The Yakuza Papers also broke box office records and spawned sequels, but, in contrast, took a ruthlessly de-romanticized view of the underworld. Based on an actual gang boss’s memoirs, The Yakuza Papers plunges the audience into a gritty, brutal, violent newsreel of a three-decade struggle for power of Shakespearean complexity, a nihilistic epic unlike any other.
