Critic Reviews for Tokyo Eyes

All Critics (5) | Top Critics (2) | DVD (1)

Less a crime flick than another disjointed thesis on unsettled, alienated youth.

Chuck Rudolph
Matinee Magazine
The film's calm, quiet tone and outsider's point of view give unexpected depth to what ends up a slender but enjoyable story.

Audience Reviews for Tokyo Eyes

Apr 15, 2009

Interesting premise, but the film never delivers any of the social commentary it tries to inject. Not a bad effort, but hardly memorable. The stars are mostly for Kitano's cameo as, you guess it, a low-rank yakuza.
