Would you have shown up without guns? And why are gangs so stupid in movies? (Spoilers)
The stupidity makes you roll your eyes. Of course they need these stupid decisions by the characters in order to keep the moving rolling. And like in all gangster flicks, whether it's yakuza or American gang movies like Boys in The hood, it's amazing how after one gang puts a hit on another, they go on with their lives oblivious to the fact that there will be retaliation. LOL! After shooting Ricky Baker, the the bloods go and have burgers and fries in the open in the middle of the night, exposing themselves to be shot down by Doughboy. After killing the head of the Shiromatsu family. The Seizu boys continues to party at clubs and brothers, exposing themselves to the retaliation of Jared Leto and his Shiromatsu family. Wouldn't you expect retaliation? Wouldn't you hunker down and be on high alert? Nah, in all movies, they all get caught with their pants down and acting surprised by the attack. LOL!
Having said that, I enjoyed the movie. I enjoy epic/period movies because it's the closest thing you can get to time traveling.
