While there's nothing inherently wrong with that approach, it dilutes the fun for those on the other side of the fence wishing they could join the wild party Miike is throwing with his gifted ensemble. Simplicity isn't essential when approaching this community of gangsters and hallway bruisers, but there's no entry point for the casual viewer, rendering the film specialized product for a specialized audience. Miike keeps the effort clouded with hazy backstories and intentions, forming a bizarre mix of hostility, slapstick comedy, and melodrama - a nuanced brew created primarily for those who've already developed a taste for the material and the director. To those unsure of the dance steps, "Crows Zero" isn't impossible to follow, but it takes a certain frequency of fandom to correctly tune in to the double-crosses, plans of revenge, and haunted interpersonal relationships that make up the majority of the picture. Keeping with the insider feel of the production, Miike (who's worked in the field before, most notably with 2001's "Ichi the Killer") and screenwriter Shogo Muto build an immediate intimacy with the characters, casually establishing these corrosive personalities in the scattered opening act of the movie.

"Crows Zero" is actually a prequel to Takahashi's original work, with the production looking to create an origin story for the misfits before their adventures take to the page. As the two battle for control of the school, life gets in the way, with fringe characters facing their own personal troubles and ominous futures, leaving Genji and Tamao conflicted as they build their forces to an ultimate showdown. Piecing together a gang through favors and displays of force, Genji finds his intentions blocked by Tamao (Takayuki Yamada), a Suzuran legend with his own collection of misfits. To prove his worth, Genji announces his intention to rule the Suzuran All-Boys High School, a dilapidated campus overrun with all sorts of eccentric punks and troublemakers. Genji (Shun Oguri) is the son of a top Yakuza boss looking to establish his reputation, with hopes to lead the criminal organization one day. The helmer flexes his visual muscles on occasion, slapping the screen with chaotic fight choreography and exaggerated character designs, but he's oddly powerless when it comes to the glacial pace of "Crows Zero," unable to bring it up to the awe-inspiring speed a few superlative scenes hint at. It's not a terribly interesting motion picture, though the effort has been dutifully colored by the insanely prolific director Takashi Miike (in the time I took the write this sentence, he just made another movie), who brings a loaded sense of style and intermittent blasts of ultraviolence to the idiosyncratic film. An adaptation of Hiroshi Takahashi's best-selling manga, the feature is blizzard of names and motivations, creating an ideal sensation of screen immersion for fans of the original work, while outsiders are left to question the half-realized subplots and wild tonal changes. "Crows Zero" requires the utmost in viewer concentration, though it never quite earns such devotion. Reviewed by Brian Orndorf, April 26, 2012
