Will Ichi the Killer scar my friend's little brother?

He's 12, and doesn't like violent movies. Will this be too bloody for him? We're trying to desensitize him slowly, and don't want to corrupt him too much at once.

Ichi the killer @ IMDB

MPAA: Rated R for strong perverse violence/gore and sexuality, language and drug content.

"Japan's most shocking movie to date"

I don't know, what do you think?

If he does not like violent movies why are you making him watch this one?

We're not making him watch anything. We were just going to watch it and I wanted to know if we should make him go do something else or not. I wasn't serious about trying to desensitize him.

Anyway, the IMDB people are talking about "violence against women", which is never a good theme for a young boy. This is the first I'm reading about the movie in depth. I think he'll have to sit this one out.

i've seen this movie....not something to be showing to a 12 yr old, it's VERY violently graphic and perverse (with blood and otherwise)...

Don't show it.

Nope, not going to let him watch it. I'm sure he'll be pissed, but it sounds pretty bad.
