Masato Harada tackles the racism experienced by South American-born,
ethnically Japanese returnees in this two-fisted crime drama and road
movie. The film centers on Tatsuo -- a low-level, short-tempered
gangster moving up in the pimping business. Yet, when he sends out his
one and only hooker to service a wizened politician, she returns beaten,
battered, and bruised. And the rest of the movie is about revenge and
retribution. The same director made Inugami and Bounce Ko Gals.

N O T E S
Good movie, bad DVD. It was non-anamorphic widescreen letterboxed
4:3, edge enhanced, and was field blended from 24fps to 30fps, rather
than being telecined.
