A hired gun plays two yakuza groups against each other.
Sinekatalog’s take
Seijun Suzuki's pop-art yakuza film follows a hired gun playing two gangs against each other. Colourful, nutty and violent, with Jo Shishido cool, it is a dazzling, irreverent cult noir.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
