Blue Tiger - By: , 03 Aug 2002
I bought this film becuase i saw it on a comming soon trailer on american yakuza, having a liking of gangster films i thought this looked interesting. However this is not just a run of the mill ganster movie although the yakuza(japanese gangsters) are the predominent sorce of the action in the film. The yakuza are engaged in a crime war with their rivals over the tour bus trade in L.A. During an assasination a stray bullet hits a young boy, the son of title role virginia madson. All she see's of the killer is the tattoo of a blue tiger on his chest she vows revenge & sets about tracking him down. As the film progress' Virginia gets a large tattoo of a red tiger on her back because there is an old chinese saying that the blue tiger will seek out the red tiger. This film kept me enterained from start to finish with some slick shoot outs & virginia's hunt to find her son's killer, a twist in the story keeps an otherwise straight forward revenge thriller from being to predictable. I would recommend this film to fans of the crime/gangster genre, a definate must if you like yakuza films with some excellent performances from alll the actors some of which also appear in another great film "American Yakuza".
