In this 1976 yakuza thriller from Japanese director Kinji Fukasaku (Battle
Royale), Tetsuya Watari plays a brooding, misfit cop who develops a bond
with a local crime-lord, leading him on the trail of a group of corrupt
money-laundering cops.
The latest film from Japanese iconoclast "Beat" Takeshi Kitano (of VIOLENT COP, SONATINE, DOLLS, etc. fame) is a wild, super bloody and often hilarious take on the classic Zato-Ichi series about a blind masseur who bests evil and corruption with his sword.
