Completed Like a Beast offers a gritty dive into the underbelly of a fading yakuza world. Kenji Takeda returns after a five-year stint in prison, only to find a landscape of betrayal and shifting loyalties. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the tension to build as Takeda navigates this treacherous new reality. What stands out are the practical effects used during the action sequences—grimy yet thrilling, they give the film a raw authenticity. The performances carry a weight that complements the heavy themes of honor and downfall. It's not flashy, but there's a distinct atmosphere to the film that sticks with you long after the credits roll. Definitely a unique entry in the action-crime genre.
