“Kitano is thoroughly effective in the central role, funny, scary, tough and mythical.” – Shadows on the Wall
Internationally acclaimed Japanese media phenomenon Takeshi Kitano (Zatoichi, Battle Royale) writes, directs and stars in this straight-ahead gangster saga with a cross-cultural twist. The film focuses on Yamamoto (Kitano), a Yakuza gangster, who is forced out of the country when a gang war all but wipes out his clan. Armed with a fake credit card, a forged passport and a bag of money, he travels to Los Angeles, where he organises one of the most powerful criminal syndicates in the city. Yamamoto seems unstoppable, until his gang runs afoul of the Mafia. Soon all that he built quickly and bloodily starts to unravel, as every member in his gang is marked for death.
