…aims to submerge Western audiences in a different culture… The Yakuza showcases a sweat-free Mitchum in an unexpectedly deep and thoughtful role.

The script is humorless, and Pollack, despite his willingness to make action films, doesn't seem to understand how action-film mechanisms work.

The interactions between Mitchum and Takakura offer a jolting look at man’s acceptance of grief, but the technical aspects of The Yakuza transform the film to a higher level.

It's a different kind of crime film, an overlooked gem.

In The Yakuza, for the last time as a lead, Mitchum was vibrantly alive.
