Talking and slowpacing...

My problem with Miike movies is that they can get a little slow. I loved Visitor Q, but I think that Ichi The Killer, Dead Or Alive and City Of Lost Souls contained too much boring talking (I like talking, if its engaging) and slowpacing. I was looking for moore hardcore action in the veins of old John Woo flicks.

How about this movie? Is it much talking and slowpacing in this one? If it is, wich movies of Miike do NOT contains too much talking and slowpacing, but more hardcore action?
