The rival bosses seek to rise through the ranks by scheming and making allegiances sworn over saké. Long-time yakuza Otomo has seen his kind go from elaborate body tattoos and severed fingertips to becoming important players on the stock market. Theirs is a never-ending struggle to end up on top, or at least survive, in a corrupt world where there are no heroes but constant betrayal and vengeance. -- (C) Magnet Releasing

Critic Reviews
-
Jon Frosch, The Atlantic
How can anyone can get excited over something so grim and redundant?
-
Tom Long, Detroit News
It's a gangster story, told well, with no punches pulled.
-
Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader
Kitano is clearly enjoying his powers as a master of the form, and the movie invites the viewer to share in his enjoyment.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
It's like a version of "Cinema Paradiso" where all the murders were saved up by a censor and strung together for a bloodbath.
-
William Goss, Film.com
It's retaliation without foundation, all fun and games until everyone gets hurt.
