REVIEW - Blackmail is my Life (1968)

My review of Kinji Fukasaku's Blackmail is my life has just gone up at Videovista.

This is by the director of Battle Royale (you know... the one where a load of unruly kids have to fight it out to the death) and, much like that better known film, it left me feeling rather ambivalent.  Blackmail is my Life has a few nice ideas and quite neatly layers 60s gonzo with bleak social realism but the film never quite coheres into anything more than that.
