It's probably fitting that Takeshi Kitano goes by the nickname Aniki in his yakuza spectacular "Brother" because he stirs up some serious anarchy on the Los Angeles crime scene. Mr. Kitano directed, edited and wrote "Brother" (aniki is Japanese for brother), and his style of close-to-the-vest brutality travels extremely well. Aniki ends up in the United States, fleeing waves of trouble left in his wake in Japan, where the murder of his boss has caused a gang war. He transplants himself to Los Angeles, where his half-brother Ken (Claude Maki) is a small-time drug dealer who runs with a crew of lowlifes who seem to be even worse at a criminal lifestyle than he is. Soon, Aniki and his New World pickup crew are dropping some Old World vengeance on any pack of criminals in their way and setting into motion the kind of forces that will demand addressing. Though this is territory that Mr. Kitano has covered before, he underlines the differences between Japan and the United States to make dramatic points and give his solemn toughness a context. - Elvis Mitchell , The New York Times 在日本黑帮斗争中惨败的大佬山本(北野武)遭帮会放弃,被下令追杀,走投无路,唯最忠心的"兄弟"加藤(寺岛进)不惜抗命助他远走美国寻回亲弟阿健(真木藏人)。山本终于在洛杉矶找到不务正业的阿健,更发现他与朋党初涉毒品买卖,却因经验不足被当地黑帮欺压,山本见状代为出头,一言不说便轰杀对方,旋即卷入连场黑道仇杀!
