- Synopsis
- Assigned a standard Yakuza film in the hardboiled vein, director Seijun Suzuki and leading man Jo Shishido used this film to flip the Japanese gangster film genre on its ear. A rapid fire gun heist, credits with an infectious jazz pop score, and a widescreen close-up of a burning car announce this film that both lampoons and redefines Asian crime films. The story follows police detective Tajima (Shishido), who, tasked with tracking down stolen firearms, turns an underworld grudge into a bloodbath - while Suzuki transforms a colorful potboiler into an on-target send-up of cultural colonialism and post-war greed.
