Wow, its a coincidence you made this thread because I just picked up the Criterion of Tokyo Drifter and watched it today. Honestly, outside of how good the film looks at times, its kinda of a mess. The plot doesn't really matter, I guess, but the film still spends a lot of time on it anyways. The editing is annoying and reading that Seijun Suzuki was fired for making incomprehensible films seems appropriate. On the other hand, the climax and opening are fantastic, as is the scene early on where the girl is killed.

Still think I'd prefer basically any Sonny Chiba flick over it, however.

I was describing the movie to someone today and there was and I kept recalling stuff I liked so maybe it needed to settle.
