Cult film-maker Sion Sono plays judge, jury and executioner on this reliably eccentric tale of three women (bourgeois housewife, married cop, ice-cool madame) in search of sexual ecstasy. As the rap sheet unrolls through gore-spattered crime scenes, rain-drenched streets and Tokyo love hotels, one gets the sense the director has become so enamoured the details that he's lost sight of the destination. The pungent, ponderous final chapter of Sono's "Hate" trilogy (following Love Exposure and Cold Fish) bows out with lots of bangs and plenty of whimper.
