The Yakuza Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's a different kind of crime film, an overlooked gem.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A superior action movie, but all the same, it's for audiences that have grown accustomed over the last few years to buckets of blood, disembowelments and severed hands flying through the air.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...Mitchum, armed with a shotgun and a pistol, is particularly bad-*** here...

Cole Smithey
"The Yakuza" is a beautifully flawed film that nonetheless catches you off guard when you least expect it.
Filmcritic.com
Paul Brenner
has one leg is still straddling the Think Fast Mr. Moto era.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
The movie is not your routine shoot-'em-up action adventure but an intricate weaving of people, conventions, and personal relationships.
Variety
Variety Staff
A confused and diffused film which bites off more than it can artfully chew.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Unsettling, but ultimately unsatisfying.
The New Beverly
Quentin Tarantino
In The Yakuza, for the last time as a lead, Mitchum was vibrantly alive.
Los Angeles Free Press
Jacoba Atlas
We are either given too much information or not enough.
Cinapse
Ed Travis
Matching an aged and rugged Robert Mitchum with ultimate Japanese gangster actor Ken Takakura, The Yakuza is, frankly, a piece of masculine cinematic heaven.
Parallax View
Richard T. Jameson
... Sydney Pollack ... manifests as much mythic sense as a mill foreman.
Vague Visages
Q.V. Hough
The interactions between Mitchum and Takakura offer a jolting look at man's acceptance of grief, but the technical aspects of The Yakuza transform the film to a higher level.
New Yorker
Pauline Kael
The script is humorless, and Pollack, despite his willingness to make action films, doesn't seem to understand how action-film mechanisms work.
TV Guide
Interesting and well-acted, if clumsy, American take on the Japanese gangster genre.
