Araki has crafted an entertaining, violently funny movie that's amongst his best work yet.

Designed to have its own fun, filled to the brim with bangs of all kinds but mostly landing with a whimper.

Araki deserves credit for maintaining his independent spirit. But "Kaboom" is short on impact.

After walking out of KABOOM, I wanted to take a nice, hot shower to wash myself of this filthy film, but holy hell I had a blast.

Shot in blinding colors, with an eye for artifice and a fixation on flesh, Kaboom is one happy, horny movie.

If there's an undercurrent of impending cataclysm in today's culture, 'Kaboom' senses that feeling, seizes it in a surreal clinch and hurtles with it off a cliff.

What pop spectacle!

Kaboom plays out like a a ridiculously campy, and poorly written comic book. It's not very coherent and has a terrible ending.

Araki movies used to feel dangerous. This one feels like underfunded kitsch.
April 08, 2011
All that's truly strange here though is that Araki gets so few jolts or laughs from this hodge-podge of genres.
September 16, 2011
there's no method to Kaboom's utter-insanity; it crumbles badly in the final minutes and reveals its central mystery as little more than a meaningless whimsy.
April 08, 2011
The film is Araki's most ambitious to date, with a quick pace, music that's hip and cool and a mood that alternates between playful and eccentric.
