| Overview: | Director Takashi Miike's re-make of Kinji Fukasaku's 1975 film.
In Japan's underground yakuza society, some men define themselvse by honor, others by vengeance...and some are beyond definition--cold-blooded merciless sociopaths.
"Graveyard Of Honor" is the true story of Rikuo Ishimatsu, a lowly dishwasher who unknowingly saves the life of a yakuza boss and quickly rises to a position of power in his gang. Loyally supporting his boss, Ishimatsu wreaks havoc on anyone who stands in their way, inevitably earning himself a trip to the slammer. Five years later, he is released, and expects to rejoin the only family he has ever known. But his short temper turns a simple misunderstanding into an escalating orgy of violence that destroys everyone around him.
"Graveyard Of Honor" is a penetrating meditation on human nature, demonstrating once again that a man's worst enemy is truly himself.
