Yeah, I missed that too...

I love Miike, but this one...well, I had 5 attempts to watch this before I finally finished it (I kept falling asleep during it!! B.O.R.I.N.G.). I thought it was a bit slow moving. And whilst I have no problem with gay sex, I feel that this is just over the top. Maybe had I been warned, I would have still watched it. But it seems that according to this film, EVERYONE is gay. Yoshihito, Tatsuhito's (main police officer) estranged brother is gay and having an affair with Wang (head of the Triads). Tatsuhito even borders on it when he shags Ritsuko only anally (is SHE the hermaphrodite??). Even in the interrogation rape scene, the criminal seemed to not hate the treatment.
I think there was not enough action in this one. Had there been more shooting scenes, chase scenes, etc. I would have overlooked the constant blowjobs and anal sex. But to me, the actual story is relegated to a back story, with shagging the main theme. I still would have been annoyed had it been hetero sex, so don't think I'm being prejudiced. It made me think of one of those filme on Skinamax that are boring and show sex scenes every 10 minutes to make up for a lack of story...
For the record, I also found "Family" to be VERY boring as well (action only in the last 15 min it seems.).I suppose I will try the sequels, like I will see "Family II" just to find out what happened.
That's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it...
