| HKFlix Says: |
One of the best Japanese action films. A deliciously wild ride of swirling, garish pop-cinematography. |
| Avg. Rating: |
4.8 / 5 (based on 4 ratings). What did you think of it?

| Plot: | Five men plot to steal a large sum of money from the local yakuza, but everything does not go as planned and the men find themselves hunted down by contract killers.
|
| Overview: | Set in an economically depressed part of Japan, five men, all down on their luck, decide to band together for one spectacular heist. But when things don't go quite as planned, they have to defend themselves against the local Yakuza. A hip, almost operatic action film with emphasis on male bonding and many similarities to the films of Sergio Leone and Sam Peckinpah.
