Plot:	Lightning Takeshi's cover is blown while executing a hit on a mobster. Soon the Matsuma gang is after Takeshi and his entire family. Now family loyalties will be tested and blood will be spilled.
Overview:	Made the same year as his "Visitor Q", acclaimed director Takashi Miike ("Ichi The Killer", "Izo") explores a different type of family dynamic. In "Family", it's about rival yakuza families constantly at bloody war with each other. Lightning Takeshi is a hitman hired to execute a mobster but is identified in the process by a woman. So now he and his family are in danger in their rivals' pursuit of revenge. When Takeshi eventually falls for the female witness, loyalties will be tested and a lot of destruction will ensue! Based on the popular manga by Hisao Maki ("Bodyguard Kiba", "Silver").
