Rogue homicide detective Azuma takes on a sadistic crime syndicate, only to discover widespread internal corruption in the police force. Facing criminal charges for his brutal methods, Azuma finds himself caught in a web of betrayal that sends him on a bloody trail of vengeance.
Upending cop-thriller tropes with deadpan wit, Takeshi Kitano’s directorial debut is acutely alive to how violence makes itself manifest. By turns incendiary and disconcertingly tranquil, this electrifying film explores how quickly society can become numb to everyday brutality.
