    Exposes the crime and political corruption of 1960s Japan
  

*by J***G on Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2020*

Blackmail Is My Life was another great film produced by Kinji Fukasaku who was known for focusing upon crime and gangs (Yakuza). The movie is about the underbelly of Japan’s economic boom in the 60s.The movie focuses upon four small time swindlers, Shun (Hiroki Matsukata), Seki (Hideo Murota), Neguchi – “Zero” (Akira Jo), and Otoki (Tomomi Sato). Their trade is blackmailing businessmen. Their luck goes bad when they try their trade on a group of powerful politicians and businessmen who work behind the scenes to run the country’s politics. Through a series of flashbacks Shun explains how he started with nothing and became a successful criminal until things went wrong.The movie plays on the 1960s when Japan’s economy took off after the Korean War gave it a huge boost and a post-World War II generation were coming of age. There’s Rock music in the background, club scenes, sports cars, and Shun talks about taking advantage of all the salary men that now populate the country. At the same time, Fukasaku emphasizes how the nation’s politics were corrupt with payoffs, bribes, and other illegal activities to get people elected.The movie ultimately works on many levels. It’s hip, it’s go crime, it’s got corruption. Fukasaku specialized in peeling away the image of Japan and exposing its evils whether that was with the Yakuza in several of his movies or in this case politics.C

This film by the director of Battle Royale deals with a group that decides to make it big by becoming Blackmailers. It has a great noir feel to it but be prepared for a downer ending

    Yakuza by one of the masters
  

*by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2006*

I have seen two of Fukasaku's major works (the first being Battle Royale and Battles without Honor and Humanity the second) prior to this movie. And if I had watch this before one (or both) of these, I would probably gave it a higher score. But, it is a bit light compared to those two. That is not to say there isn't anything to scoff at.It has interesting camera work, biting black humor (with a dash of social commentary), and a passion for youth. It is a wonderful film for someone wanting a bit more in Yakuza films
