Plot: The third in director Takashi Miike's (AUDITION, ICHI THE KILLER) Black Society Trilogy, which examines the effects of other far eastern countries on Japan, LEY LINES paints a dystopic, hostile picture of Japan and its inhabitants. Bored of their suburban existence, three young Chinese-born men journey to Tokyo and become enmeshed in a web of crime and violence from which none will emerge unscathed. After taking up drug pushing and getting robbed by a desperate prostitute, the three have a run-in with a Chinese warlord who sets out to kill them; after one of them is shot, the other two return to their village, where another is run down by a truck driver on a rampage. That leaves only one of the boys, who eventually joins forces with the prostitute, Anita, for a final face-off with Wu, the gang leader. A characteristically deft handling of graphic, stomach-churning violence and subtle characterization, LEY LINES is a nonlinear, chaotic tale over which Miike retains a masterful control throughout.
