The Yakuza Papers, Vol. 3: Proxy War (1973)
Apparently, somebody felt I'd enjoyed the previous films in this series too much. So they took the undoubtedly-riveting film that serves as the true Episode 3 and replaced it with a talky and stagnant film that basically serves as a two-hour setup for Episode 4. Remind me again why I don't generally care for yakuza films? Oh. That's right. Because generally they boil down to an overwealth of characters jabbering on about who needs to be killed, who shouldn't be killed, who's going to do the killing, why the killing can't be done now, what will happen as a result of the killing, etc. Shut up and shoot someone, goddammit.
Grade: C+
