A delinquent cop on the verge of psychological breakdown, Kuroiwa, becomes "brother" of Nishida boss Iwata, who is at war with rival clan Yamashiro, and falls in love with Keiko, a former mafia boss' wife. Kuroiwa tries to put an end to the war between the Yakuza families but finds out that cops and mafia are equally corrupt.
From the man that brought us the notorious Battle Royale, Kinji Fukasaku, comes this much older Japanese mafia film. A deep look into 70's Japanese lifestyle and society's morals, this film is more than just a cop movie. A man on the edge tries to find honor and dignity at both sides but sadly comes to the realization that almost everything except love is corrupt. For mature viewers only!
Tetsuya Watari hits the spot! The paranoid and criminal on his hard, I-have-seen-it-all-so-try-me face blends perfectly with his character, lost in the streets of a lawless Japan that tries to retrieve its old-time glory. IImpressive skill, as most Japanese actors show. A huge thumbs up for the soundtrack too!
Must watch this : with a bowl of steamed rice and endless bottles of sake, enough to get you drunk the Japanese way.
