Three brothers take on the mob in a hard-boiled, doom-laden, little-seen gangster film from the height of Nikkatsu’s period of “Borderless Action” productivity.
If you were thrilled by Stray Cats Rock!, you’ll likely be a fan already of Yasuharu Hasebe: a Nikkatsu studio director who attacked B-level assignments with vigor. This spunky, jazz-inflected 60s action flick is full of remarkable visuals and knife-edge Yakuza drama. Starring the great Jô Shishido!
