Narazumono, whose translation in the English version is An Outlaw, is a gangster film in the lone vigilante style, very popular in the 60s, but with some characteristics that distinguish it, not always for the better, from other darker works, such as that characterized by the new Japanese wave.

The use of color, in a lively and bright tone, which clearly distances it from the somber black and white tones of classic noir and even from the new wave, that loved the black and white, although elevated to the showy splendor of the large format. Here, color played to the detriment of the work, which lost style and became commonplace.

On the positive side, we have the fact that the film was almost entirely filmed in Hong Kong and Macau, in the 60s, thus giving an interesting historical view of these two cities, in colonial times, cosmopolitan and densely populated the British colony, empty, provincial and almost miserable the portuguese.

This is probably the worst movie of Ken Takakura, not only his acting is bad, the script is also bad, the director also sucks. Takakura Ken's acting is very blunt, not like a very talented actor at all, his acting skills are very awkward and rigid, It's even a bit like a Korean actor, who must use constant self-talking to himself to express the thoughts in his head, and then use movements to follow his thoughts, it looks just pretty stupid. All the other supporting roles are not good at all because of the lousy script and the bad director.

After the movie continued for ten to fifteen minutes, it was almost unbearable and unwatchable at all!
