This pyrotechnical whimsy is the fitting—which is to say, pretty fucking silly—last chapter in jack-of-all-trades Takashi Miike’s Mole Song trilogy, which began in 2010. This time, oafish undercover cop Reiji—who, as custom prescribes, also starts this adventure in his birthday suit—smells a fantastic opportunity to finally put the boss of yakuza group Sukiya-kai behind bars once and for all. To that end, he beats, screams, crashes, and stumbles his way through the finest set pieces, before the grand finale takes its place among the pantheon of Miike-sensei’s WTF moments that delight the soul and blow the mind.
