Togawa (Joe Shishido, BRANDED TO KILL) is released from prison early by his underworld bosses. They make him execute a daring heist on an armoured vehicle, knowing he has no choice but to do it, as he needs the money for his sister’s surgery. With multiple partners and facets to the operation, much is at risk and all is never as it seems.
A riff on Stanley Kubrick’s THE KILLING from Nikkatsu’s ‘Action’ line, Takumi Furukawa directs this yakuza tale with every bit of the deftness found in classic American noir of the 1950s, featuring hard-boiled characters and enough twists to make your fedora spin.
