First Love (2019)

Ah, the classic story of The Pugilist and The Prostitute!  It's a modern romantic comedy tale that blends in the classic Japanese crime story elements of the Yakuza, drug smugglers, hot lady assassins, dirty cops, and as many beheadings as needed to drive the story along!  This new age love story comes to you from Takashi Miike, the twisted and genius mind that brought us Audition (1999) and Ichi the Killer (2001).  First Love follows a boxer Leo (Masataka Kubota) who, after getting knocked out, stumbles through a series of unfortunate events that tie him in with some no good drug smugglers who are after Monica (Sakurako Konishi), the call girl with a tormented past and a present day haunting!  Over the course of one night, they grow closer and more desperate trying to escape the people who are ultimately hunting them!  Sakurako Konishi gives us the best Skintastic moments in this one with a nip slip that we don't even think the editor caught!  Don't worry team, we slowed it down with our patented SkinVision, so you can rewatch it again and again.  Another solid flick from Takashi Miike that'll make you wonder yet again, what the hell is going on in Japan???  Just kidding Japan, we love you!
