3/4
There are more than enough corpses to fill a cemetery once the smoke clears in Yakuza Graveyard. Go to Full Review
Kathy Fennessy Video Librarian Magazine Jun 22, 2023
3.5/5
It's a violent film that hews toward the lurid, but there's never a dull moment, and the chemistry between Kuroiwa and Keiko adds some much-needed tenderness to the tough scenario. Go to Full Review

3/4
Fukasaku's camera tilts and dives and chases after the action, and at no point becomes lost in the jumble. It's unbelievably skilled, clear, exciting work. Go to Full Review
Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness May 16, 2023

Finn S Aug 14, 2017 If Fukasaku's Battles without Honor or Humanity series could be distilled down to its best parts and condensed to one film, it would resemble Yakuza Graveyard. It has all the yakuza intrigue and gritty/occasionally funny violence of his other films, but he gets the human element down better. See more
