2. Summary

   OK 2.5

   A dark and violent American prisoner in 1950’s postwar japan becomes affiliated with a gang in Osaka as sort of an enforcer. The main character’s role was awkward and didn’t really make sense, and even worse, parts were almost offensive as you learned what he left behind for his new life as an outsider. Perhaps the only redeeming quality of the film was the cool take on Japanese gang life, which was full of tradition, loyalty, drama, and lots of bloodshed.
