在这部花与怒涛片中,本片是擅长把玩情色和黑帮题材的导演，将其最敏感的两大元素集合融会的佳作。花是女人，也是妓女，而在黑帮厮杀的怒涛中，更显红颜薄命，激情和热血的碰撞，看得人心潮起伏。
Another subversion of audience expectations has Kobayashi acting somewhat cowardly in the snow-bound final showdown, an unheard-of trait in a ninkyô yakuza hero. Also with Tamio Kawaji as a sword-wielding assassin in Zero-cape-and -hat(!)
