Abandoned by the brotherhood of his yakuza clan, tough guy Yamamoto is forced to leave Tokyo. He goes to Los Angeles in search of Ken, his younger half-brother. Alone and with a new identity, Yamamoto finds himself frustrated by foreign surroundings, especially since he doesn’t speak the language.
What happens when a Japanese yakuza ends up in L.A.? For that matter, what happens when Japanese phenomenon Takeshi Kitano (Zatôichi, Battle Royale) writes, directs and stars in an American gangster film? The results are classic Kitano: startling violence, deadpan humor, and unexpected emotion.
