Sympathy for the Underdog Ratings & Reviews
Cinema Crazed
Emilie Black
These leads are perfect in their parts, showing just the right amount of emotion and going into their characters knowing they are complex being, making them more human by letting them be themselves through their performances.
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
Standing at the crossroads of the yakuza genre as it began to incorporate ripped-from-the-headlines stories, Sympathy for the Underdog has lost none of its raw, kinetic power.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
I'd rather be eating sushi than watching such an undercooked flick.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Matt Bailey
Sympathy for the Underdog is something of a transitional, minor work, but it is every bit as accomplished in style and technique as Fukasaku's later films.
