Rag ing with the raw power of his early works (<em>A Violent Cop</em> \, <em>S onatine</em> )\, though the style is less minimalist. In fact\, Kitano's representation of internecine gang rivalry and imploding power structure stands up to Kinji Fukasaku's seminal <em>Battle Without Honor </em> seri es in complexity and unsentimental attitude\, with humor as mean and dry as a straight-up martini. The filming of violence\, too\, is exemplary\, and enough to shame more frenzied filmmakers\, with the camera largely k eeping its distance rather than joining in with the bloodshed.\n\n$12\, $9 for members\, students and seniors.
